The sole purpose for the rats pressing for tax increases is because the rats know that approval of any tax increases by the GOP would mean the death of the GOP. Period, end of discussion. All that’s left is to see if the GOP indeed commits suicide.
That's not necessarily true. We may have them in a ratchet situation of our own - we're going to swing even more conservative in 2012. If we play it right we might be able to get more of the rinos out in the primary season. Right now most of our team hasn't been there long enough to get leadership positions. That will change if we improve our position again. If not, apres moi le deluge.
