Good luck even presenting your rational idea here and on spot assessemnt..You will be flamed as a “coward” who ‘can’t stand tough and just call Obama’s bluff”.
Most of the people that are so demanding we stay with cut, cap and balance or “just let the federal govt stop” are really very upset that we DON”T have the senate or the Presidency...so instead of going for the Independents in 2012 and keep moving the country back to conservatism, they would rather shoot themselves in the foot now.
That says to me they really don’t have much confidence that we CAN convince Independents. After all, Not everyone goes onto Freepeer or listens to Rush.
Elections take care of themselves when you show yourself to be more aggressive and ruthless than your opponents.
