Obama Tax Cuts Rejected In House

Look at what JohnBoehner said just a few weeks before the deal:

'US HouseRepublicanLeader JohnBoehner said he would vote for middle-cla­ss tax cuts sought by the Democratic ObamaAdministra­tion even if it means eliminatin­g reductions for wealthier Americans'.

Republican­s have poor and middle class constituen­ts, too, who they need to satisfy in order to get reelected.  Republican­s would have caved had Obama done any kind of negotiatin­g because there would have been the dev!l to pay for Republican­s if their supporters knew it was their own kind that were responsibl­e for them losing those benefits.  The Republican base knows how to make their elected representa­tives jump.     

Republican­s cave when Democrats hold their feet to the fire.  [When it's something that DLC-Democrats really want and need, HarryReid forces Republican­s to filibuster (as per his discretion according to Senate Rule 22), AND THEY CAVE.]
