“See how it’s played?”
Now you’re backpedaling. One minute it’s “The 2010 election.” Now it’s, “well of course Republicans must do something before then.”
“Send a healthcare repeal bill to Obama OVER AND OVER... and a across the board tax cut to him OVER AND OVER... and a million other conservative things that we all know he will never sign. No compromise should be given, make him veto over and over and over conservative legislation, that way they look like they are TRYING to do something, it’s just that mean ole socialist Obama that is causing the gridlock, and if only we could replace him in 2012... all these things could be passed.”
This must be part of the attack NOW! As we elect and take control of both the House and Senate NOW, rather than adopt your strategy and place all our chips on the 2010 elections.
There is nothing the Republicans can do now since they have no power to put anything to a vote.
After they win in November... they STILL wont actually be able to do anything conservatives want like “repeal healthcare” because Obama will just veto it. Deadlock is the best we can hope for until 2012.
With that being said, the WORST thing we could do is work WITH Obama to pass legislation that will get the economy back on track without advancing conservative principles. For instance extending the middle class tax cuts while letting the Bush tax cuts for the rich expire. Fixing the healthcare bill instead of pushing to repeal it in it's entirety, ect.
