A few republicans came out with somewhat of a moderate stance and said they agree on not raising taxes on people earning below 250k so let's not throw the baby out with the bathwater. Other republicans have said let the Dems have their way so that when it fails it is all their fault.
problem is that early on it seems the Tea PArty and lunatic fringe of the party have shored things up in the party to continue to dictate the direction they take. This despite losing the presidential election and losing seats in Congress which most would take as confirmation that the american public agrees with the Dems on this issue....especially because it was a MAJOR theme in the election.
