Speaker Gingrich, should we stop the tax bill also?

Gingrich gives the GOP instructions:

If Congress fails to pass a spending bill before Sunday, all non-essential portions of the federal government are effectively “shutdown.”  Regardless, Newt Gingrich tells HUMAN EVENTS that Republicans must filibuster the Omnibus bill and not allow it to move in the Senate.

Republicans should offer to pass a “very clean, simple Continuing Resolution that keeps the government open.” The GOP shouldn’t budge, insists the former Speaker of the House. “This [past] election was in part over pork-barrel spending by earmarks” and the “Democrats are trying to behave as though the election didn’t occur.”

But Newt old boy your tweet says:

Newt Gingrich: Tax Deal Is "A Great Victory For American People And GOP Leadership." From former Speaker Newt Gingrich's Twitter feed on December 7:

And the Dems are still open:

A final House vote on President Obama’s tax proposal could be delayed after Democratic leaders were forced to pull a procedural measure off the House floor Thursday.

I dunno what the man is thinking, but there is plenty of effort to stop the tax compromise. A possible deal might kill both.  I think GOP deficit hawks are trying to get taxes raised, in stealth.
