I agree. But, conservatives should take the opportunity when they get it. They know that Obama will then use them as “the big bad wolf” to run against in the next election, so they have to be wary.
In the past, this meant they were so worried about the “electorate” that they proved they were nice by continuing the big spending.
They need a better advertising agency that will show them how to sell budget cuts as a very positive thing.
The other outcome is horrific.
