The debt ceiling debate of August, 2011 is a battle within the overall war of November, 2012. Whatever we do now must place our cause in the best position to win in 2012, even if that means not fully advancing the fight now. Rep. West believes that a full out fight over this debt ceiling now plays right into the hands of the socialist dems and their willing media sycophants to paint conservatives and the Tea Party as raving lunatics to the general public in 2012 elections.
I agree with Rep. West. I think an all-or-nothing attack now would be like Pickett's Charge. Unnecessary and self-destructive.
“He’s still the exact same guy. He is merely arguing for different short term tactics in a longer war, not against conservative principles. “
I see... So calling Tea Party members schizo’s and then saying they are backers of Pelosi and Reid is a tactic.. Was West one of those commanders that shot his soldiers as a tactic too?
If you are going to make a point, try not making an asinine one.
"Honor, justice, and humanity, forbid us tamely to surrender that freedom which we received from our gallant ancestors, and which our innocent posterity have a right to receive from us. We cannot endure the infamy and guilt of resigning succeeding generations to that wretchedness which inevitably awaits them if we basely entail hereditary bondage on them."--Thomas Jefferson
Finally! Someone who understands reality!
