Damn straight and we have a whole list of demands that haven’t even made the top 10 list.

One last chance.

As Louis XIV said: "Apres moi, le Deluge."

I love it. Left of Europe. More like Cuba.

I would agree with that. Real cuts in spending, real health care reform, real immigration enforcement would do for starters. Unfortunately I’m not sure that Boehner and McConnell and Cantor have gotten the message yet.

I’d say BOTH parties have ONE LAST CHANCE to get things right.

Pubbies moreso.

The lot of them are looking a self-immolation as a viable option should they examine their actions and consequences for the ambitions of absolute power.

ONE

LAST

TIME

One can’t help admiring Mr DeMint for saying in public what we’ve been saying among ourselves....

He’s way out on a limb, here, and it’s up to us to make sure that limb stays safely un-sawed....

Cut Cap Gains and ALL business taxes

Gut Fannie and Freddie

Why can’t we also expect Speaker Boehner to at least initiate impeachment proceedings in the House?

I believe there are real ethical issues with human cloning. But I’d really like to see about 60 Jim DeMints.

More to the point, the GOP is dead if you don’t do what WE say. By “we” I mean your constituents, those you are supposed to represent!

The biggest problem is that they haven’t made any promises at all. It’s been years since the Republicans had any kind of platform. The House is coming out with some mini-contract with America, but it is supposedly much smaller and incomplete. The Republican Senate won’t commit to anything at goals at all; they just react to whatever the Democrats do.

Something that gets lost in all the tax talk is the fact that overegulation and overunionization are harming business just as much as high taxes, probably more so.

I will probably get flamed for this, but I think the “We the People” movement needs to ditch the idea of “Republican” totally. The name “Republican” is just as soiled and stinky as the name “Democrat”.

Without 60 votes in the Senate they can only negotiate around the edges. Shutting down the government is about the best that can happen. It will take big changes in 2012 the really make changes. I do think that a big enough victory in November might scare the crap out of both sides enough to repeal most of Obamacare.

They can certainly make life miserable for the Democrats and Obama.

Think of the Republican Party as a bucket: we don't need what's in it now, but empty it might come in handy.
