I want to win, not just fight battles. There are a lot of political veterans who think a government shutdown is the wrong approach. I’m not ready to denounce everyone of them simply because they don’t agree with the approach taken. The goal is smaller government.
BTW, I’m not sure which approach is better. There’s clearly risk either way. That’s why I wrote I was conflicted on this.
I do think Republicans should try to wrangle concessions out of the Democrats either way. They weren’t sent to D.C. to give the Democrats whatever they want. Unfortunately, the president and his regulatory minions are out of control, and the senate will block any attempt to impeach.
“the senate will block any attempt to impeach.”
we’ve got all the time, dude
I understand your conflicts, but if we don't take a serious stand, we're lost. Getting "concessions" from Dims is akin to working out a deal where thugs can rape your wife and oldest daughter if they only leave your youngest daughter alone.
Don't buy into the government shutdown meme. Obama and the Dims would be the ones shutting down the government if the House turns in a budget that takes care of necessities while withholding ObamaCare funding.
All the concessions/betrayals by the Republicans over the last few decades is what got government so bloated that it is a force for the People to fear - if we don't draw a line and refuse to back up any more. Civility and "concessions" will not do anything but allow the tyranny to continue. Those who oppose being rock solid are aiding and abetting the enemy.
