Politics is about compromise.
You start high in the negotiatons, then you settle at something less.
Why would you think you would get 100% of what you want?
That's not entirely true. Politics is about knowing when you can compromise and when you have to stick to your guns. Now is one of those times to dig in your heels and say "enough, no more". It's far past time to draw a line in the sand and then defend it. Yes, this will more than likely lead to another Civil War of one sort or another, but some things are worse than death. Are you willing to consign your children and grandchildren to a life that results in them being little more than serfs because you wanted to compromise?

Stop that... boehner pledged his solemn word that he would NOT raise the debt ceiling unless there were an equal or GREATER amount of real spending cuts when compared to the increase. When I am told something in concrete solemn Honor pledges... I expect a man's word to be made good. I didn't promise this... boehner did. You and others like you, have enabled these professional criminals in DC to put us into debt to the tune of 66.7 Trillion dollars in unfunded mandates (money collected for one purpose and spent on another) and 15 Trillion in deficit spending debt... and that is more than the entire GDP of Planet Earth... then your damned straight I want no compromise. One cannot compromise with communists. Compromise has brought us to the brink of destruction. If you cannot see this then you are not trying to see anything but unicorns and skittles.
