There is reality and there is the tomfoolery that often exists here on the island of Conservutopia. At the end of the day, we need to retain the House as a check against Obama and libs....this factoid never ceases to amaze me that some folks here want it all and want it all now, and in the process the piss off independents to the point that the country lurches back to the left again.
The "independendts" are morons and so is the GOP "leadership".
Playing to not lose never makes you a winner.
I used to think like you, checking the rats is better than losing it all. But we are past the point where we can play the compromise game and live for another day. Look at where it has gotten us.
We don't have a second chance, government size and spending is totally out of control. It will devour us even if we try to compromise. We need to draw the line in the sand and hold it this time. If not now, then when? How many more trillion dollar debt increases can we handle before it becomes a problem in your eyes?
You call it "Conservutopia". Utopia is a lefty dream of perfection, fairness, and equality. Conservatives live in reality, where people, things, and outcomes are not fair or equal by nature. That reality is imperfect but necessary for the continued health of this nation. If demanding government be responsible is Utopian, we truly are in trouble.
Mostly they need to keep the pitchforks in the barns along with the dopes that vote for them.
Do you know where your pitchfork is? I think yours is still in the barn.
Under normal circumstances I might agree, but for your information, the debt is about to throw us off the hyperinflation cliff. When it takes a wheelbarrow of cash to pay for a loaf a bread, maybe you will get it then. This country does not have the luxury of doing anything but a forced drastic austerity program. Your position is nothing but appeasement.
