Well, yeah, so what? Yes, we ARE in this mess.
So what else is new.

No, I want a LOT of spending cuts.My way to do that is to get a Conservative President and get the senate in 2012. Then get the cuts we want!

Hate to break it to you....the conservatives did a great job in 2010...BUT WE LOST THE SENATE AND THE PRESIDENT.
I am angry about that too, but I am not going to shoot myself in the foot by alienating every Independent and lose in 2012.

"My way to do that is to get a Conservative President and get the senate in 2012."

LOL!

We had a conservative President in the '80s for 8 years and a Republican Senate for 6. The HOR, well they were several blue dogs and still our debt increased 3 fold. Any cuts past the current Congress are bovine excrement and when you don't presently cut enough you get bad government.

I don't give a flying f* what Party occupies the Bodies, bad government is bad government. Promoting bad government for the purpose of winning future contest is still bad government. Can you guarantee a "Super Senate", especially when half the population is on the public teat?

Congratulations, we won a temporary popularity contest, too bad you had to sell the future out to get a small victory (Using your end game scenario).

The political games need to end and won't as long as the pragmatic self-described "realist" like yourself exist. We are on the road to destroy freedom and the United States experiment because of compromises and forgetting fundamentals that proved beneficial towards our liberty and our children's liberty. $14 trillion is the result of compromise, hooray for you.
