Now that conservatives have taken that stance against socialism/communism, it is thwarting “progress.”
Right now, the GOP has a clear mandate from the American people to be the “Party of No”. No socialized medicine, no more reckless borrowing and spending, no Cap and Tax.
You are right - but they’ll throw it all away by going to Hussein’s healthcare taffy pull.
Obama will control the format, the discussion, and the cameras. They Republicans are suckers to participate but I have no doubt that they’ll prove me correct.
