The Dems are moving the goal posts.

They know that they are going to give the Repubs most of the budget cuts and they will have to concede many more budget cuts in months ahead so they are going to try to make the battle all about abortion instead.

I hope conservatives don't buy it but I'm afraid they will. The bigger battle is the economy and we should be behind our folks in Congress as they win those battles.

Isn’t it looking like the senate is heading to supermajority republican hands in 2012? I say we focus on the cuts that will be agreed upon, then take the supermajority and defund planned parenthood in 2012. If it’s not a supermajority we get in 2012, pass it as a reconciliation bill. Of course, we need a President with the cahones to sign it.

All the battles are important, but the most important battle is to IMPOSE a Conservative blueprint over government operations and expectations.

That includes linking abortion funding to EVERYTHING.

The Democrats can go along and scrap over chump change, or they can be left out of the great national debate entirely.

I'd take away their toilet keys on the House side of the Capitol building as a first "petty move" to demonstrate to them just how inferior we believe them to be.
