I believe Senator Bunning’s analysis was flawed. He should have stuck to his guns and the pubbies should have rallied to him. This is a tactical and strategic defeat. For example he could have rubbed the Dims nose in all the leftist funding they provide with our tax dollars. Demand they stop that and provide the money to the unemployment legislation. He could have demanded they drill for more oil to spur the economy and put people back to work. Just a couple of tactics he could have slapped the spend, spend, spebd Dims with. Strategically, it hurts the pubbies with their base b/c he stood all alone with no pubbie help. Tending to reinforce the perception, dare I say fact, that the pubbies simply won’t fight. I understand your point, I really do. Recall, a great Chinese general once said, “On death ground, FIGHT! Our nation is on that ground and IMHO it is past time to fight or there will be nothing left to fight for.
“Many of FR will never understand....but when you are in combat you make decisions that make sense in the overall scenario.”
Thank you. There are too many FReepers with an all-or-nothing attitude about this issue and most others. What we all need to remember is that there is another side with the same all-or-nothing attitude. THAT side has a majority in both houses. We have to keep up the pressure without cutting our noses off to spite our faces.
