Democrats: Taxation Without Representation
UPDATE (5/17/07): That was a close one...Nancy wisely decided against this foolish move.
Posted on The Corner:
In a stunning move, House Democrats today revealed they will attempt to rewrite House rules that have gone unchanged since 1822 in order to make it possible to increase taxes and government spending without having to vote and be held accountable. House Republican Leader John Boehner (R-OH) today vowed Republicans will use every available means to fight this unprecedented change.
“This is an astonishing attempt by the majority leadership to duck accountability for tax-and-spend policies the American people do not want,” Boehner said. “The majority leadership is gutting House rules that have been in place for 185 years so they can raise taxes and increase government spending without a vote. House Republicans will use every tool available to fight this abuse of power.”
What happend to the open, honest, ethical Congress we were promised back in November?
*crickets*
If the Republicans fight this in the same manner they fought the upcoming immigration bill (read: amnesty bill), the sales for Pepto Bismol and Kaopectate will increase dramatically nationwide.

I seriously doubt they'll fight this (or get the public support) as they have for illegal immigration. Perhaps its the pessimist in me speaking, but the Dems will succeed in pushing this through the back door – in more ways than one – to raise our taxes, increase spending, and blame it all on Bush and the Repubs.
