I think all of that is irrelevant. After today, BO knows that he now has a “handful” of GOobers, including Scott Brown, who will help him ram KenyanCare down the throats of Americans.
Free radicals in our political system, out of control and addicted to spending.
Gerold Ford (R) had just followed Nixon but, and this is important, the Dems controlled both the US House Carl Abbot (D) and the US Seante Mike Mansfield (D) in 1974.
At this point, any “conservative” who isn’t willing to talk openly and LOUDLY about secession and reorganization will be shown to be a TRAITOR and/or a COWARD.
Under a secession and reorganization plan, a number of states secede and then re-assemble under the U.S. Constitution as the Reorganized United States of America. All U.S. states would be invited to join - and most would.
The R-USA would have no obligation to pay the unconstitutionally acquired debts of old USA.
I really wish they would go nuclear for two reasons:
1. It would antagonize the public more leading to more resistance.
2. It would justify majority rule in January of 2011 with Republican majorities.
If mere majorities are needed, in 2011 Republicans could begin in earnest repealing almost everything Obama has done.
Among other things, it’s a tax scheme to rip the upper middle class down to starve with the rest of us in peasantry. Many will lose their employee insurance packages. Many others will lose their jobs. Despots. Their assumption is that if the upper middle class falls, they will vote Democrat from then on.
