Bob Menendez Likens Tax Fight to Negotiation with Terrorists." "'Do you allow yourself to be held hostage, and get something done for the sake of getting something done, when in fact it may be perverse in its ultimate result. It's almost like a question of, "Do you negotiate with terrorists?"' Menendez said, when asked whether he and other Democrats would accept a compromise with Republicans on extending the Bush tax rates." Negotiating with terrorists! They have the majority. The Democrats still have the majority everywhere you look, the House and the Senate, but it doesn't matter.
