The Republicans are negotiating from weakness. They agreed to Sequestration, and the terrible idea of a "Super Committee" chaired by Sen Murry and Kerry (yeah...that was going work). Now, the nation is stuck with tax brutal tax hikes while the Pentagon (which is 17% of the budget) takes 50% of the Sequestration cuts while entitlements are not only protected by expanded exponentially.

A good point but the D senate is much more beholden to the defense industry than the R house.

The only "good" news out of all of this there may be some restraint on Bath House Barry's rapid march to Communism in Amerika - however, the horrible economic collapse we may experience may even accelerate us to the gallows of tyranny.

False dichotomy. Other alternatives are possible like a split of the R party and rise of a fiscal conservative party. Initially that will benefit D, but could save America in the long run.

Not a chance. Taking our minority in the Senate and making it a smaller minority helps about as much as opening up a screen door in a canoe.

I empathize with you ideologically, but politically it is suicide.

Politics is all about numbers. Even the Socialist Nazis (when they were running for office in Germany in the 1920's and 1930's) understood this. It wasn't until they won more seats in the Reichstag that they flexed more muscle. Communists did the same thing in countries before they took absolute power. Right now, the Republicans (weak as they are) is the ONLY check on Obama becoming an absolute Dictator in the nation. That isn't hyperbole, it is fact. Via Judas Roberts, we have lost the courts. We don't have the FBI, Justice Dept, or CIA. The DoD is kept on a very short leash by the White House and Panetta. We don't have the Senate.

All we have is the House. To split that in two will wipe us out politically.
