I would like like to go back to being the Party of No.
No deal is better than a bad deal.

The RATS are blatantly stealing elections now, it does not matter how anybody votes. Might as well vote for the right thing because they are going to cheat Republicans out of seats anyways.
The Pubs have been outplayed and can’t win this one. Obama will refuse to make any real concessions because he wants the Bush tax cuts to expire. Then in January, with the new Congress and tax hikes in place, he will propose a bill to reinstate them for all but “the rich”. The Pubs will either have to capitulate, or vote against tax cuts for the vast majority of Americans. If they do the later it will kill their brand as the party of lower taxes.
Sometimes you just have to fold a losing hand.
The Washington Generals...uhhh, I mean Republicans, are handling this so badly they ought to get hammered in the polls.
It is much, much more important that Republicans resist Obama, and this accepts that there will be extreme pressure put on them in the short term. But the elections are very far away right now.
Simply put:
If Republicans cave now, out of fear of alienating the more liberal voters in two year, they will alienate their core voters right now. And as these core voters demonstrated in the last election, if you do that, you lose them, and you *will* lose the election.
So it is a contest between “might” and “will”.
However, if the Republicans keep their intestinal fortitude, yes they will get heat from the Democrats and the MSM for two or three months. But then push comes to shove.
The Democrats truly believe that Obama is a dictator, and as such, if he orders something, he must be obeyed. But the flip side to this is if he orders something and it does not happen, he has failed “the agenda”, or more to the point, “he is a god that bleeds”. A false god.
And when the paychecks are cut off for Democrats especially across the country, Obama and the Democrat party will be at the center of their wrath.
Polls are U.S. government PROPAGANDA, devised to shape public opinion in favor of tyranny. Lemmings over the Fiscal Cliff!
Tell them to shove their polls up their Butts.
Do what’s right and screw the polls.
Of coiurse I say that, but Boehner and his Progressive Republicans are already starting to bend over for the shaft.
Look, if Repubs give in: top 2% rates go up.
If we let fiscal cliff happen: top 2% rates go up along w/98%
Pubs need to pass bill raising top rates and leaving 98% as is.
Clean bill, nothing added. Announce they are giving Obama what he wants for the sake of the 98% and let Obama own it.
Done!
Amazing how the populace has gone along with it.
Voters are only hearing one side of the debate. The WH have complete control of the media who get his message out and either ignore conservative arguments or edit them to look bad.
Who cares what “Americans” think anymore? These are the same know nothing putz’ that voted a know nothing putz back into POTUS a 2nd time!!!
Republicans went OVER the CLIFF quite a few elections ago..
When they IGNORED voter fraud.. totally ignored it..
as they still are doing.. Nov 6th voter fraud demanded revolt..
But republicans have become cowards and complicit with voter fraud..
Afraid to put their lives at risk.. revolt can be quite bloody..
AND THE DEMOCRATS KNOW IT..
It’s the usual Propaganda -—> Poll -—> Propaganda -—> Etc. cycle that the media always creates:
Repubs/Conservatives Bad -—> Poll -—> Repubs/Conservatives Bad -—> Etc.
Damed if you do. Damned of you don’t. Might as well do the right thing and stand on principal. The next election is few years away, voters have short memories, and we know how all the polls are rigged by the Liberal Media. Go for it, Boner!
Give the President what he wants on the 2%, stipulate that you don’t agree; vote PRESENT, and deliver enough sacrifical votes so that it passes the House,
BUT.....pledge that support if the President and Reid agree to put these “obama tax increases” back to Bush rates, if they do not present a true balanced plan on cutting the Budget within the first 45 days of the new year. If they don’t agree, then the GOP can claim that the President is no serious about balancing the budget, reining in Govt spending and tell them there will be absolutely no movement on the debt ceiling.
It is no wonder the public polls this way. Every liberal/socialist media talking head is doing nothing but propagandizing for Obama’s position and attacking the Repub position. That is all the public hears With this and the 47% who are taking from the government, is there any doubt that that is how they would poll. No surprise here. Americans are really stupid and selfish — seems they will support anything that takes from others to give to themselves. But don’t mess with their money or benefits. The polling on specific benefit cuts says just that.
Who cares? If we go over the cliff, Repubs get blamed, if we don’t, Obama gets the credit. We’re going to get bad PR either way, we might as well stand on principle.
