There is no reason for Republicans to sacrifice. We are always the ones who sacrifice. Someone needs to tell Boehner to QUIT TALKING. The person who loses in a negotiation is the one who RUNS HIS MOUTH. The only statement the Speaker should make is this. “ The House has detailed and passed its written plan and it was tabled in the Senate. We eagerly await the White House and the Senate’s written plans.” END OF STATEMENT. STFD STFU. Damnation. Why do they have to keep flapping their yap?
“Why do they have to keep flapping their yap?”
On the contrary, I think our problem is that we’ve usually remained quiet far too long, without ever fighting back. GW made the mistake of not speaking to the slanderous, hateful rhetoric - which backfired on him AND US, delivering an ‘08 victory to the Evil One and a huge blow to our country.
Day after day the American sheeple are bombarded with BHO’s righteously indignant speeches, pressers, “town halls” and a steady diet of media propaganda by leftist writers/commentators, tv/radio ads demagogueing the Republicans, Tea Party, and terrifying the old folks - yet we don’t fight back ourselves with ads, speeches and various forums to educate people in the truth.
Too many people today view silence as affirmation or agreement. I think people like Ryan, Boehner and others are concise. But speak they must - present the real facts and take their case to the American people - over and over and over. I think then, a surprising number of them would finally get it.
