A compromise plan would likely be just as bad as Obama’s. It would just take longer for the pain to kick in.
The old joke is that the Democrats propose a bill to burn down the Library of Congress and the Republicans counter with a proposal to phase it in over three years.
Now face the wrath of the Wicked Witch of the West!...
How about the government keeps its grubby mitts off health care, and they pay attention to what they are SUPPOSED TO BE DOING, i.e., defending us from all enemies foreign and domestic, etc., as spelled out in the Constitution.
Interestingly, two of the Ohio Blue Dogs split on Cap ‘n tax: Zack Space & Charlie Wilson.
Space holds Bob Ney’s former seat, Wilson holds the current governor, Ted Strickland’s former seat.
IMO, Space is playing with fire if he thinks there will be no reaction from Cap ‘n Tax. Even the UMWA types I run into from that area dislike him for it. In contrast, Wilson — perhaps as public posturing — made quite clear Zero was twisting his arm behind his back as a result of his NO vote on Cap ‘n Tax. Again, the UMWA types I run into from that area respect Wilson for standing up against this stuff; they don’t seem to have much respect for Space.
Apparently, the Dims figure the Ohio GOP is too disorganized to throw up a viable candidate in 2010 against Space. They may be right.
I’ll believe it when I see it. Hussein’s cult is strong.
