This current group of weak-kneed Republicans need to just get out of the way of Obama, but do it in a cunning way.
here is a case in point:
Obama wants to raise taxes. Have him submit his proposal chock full of tax increases. Pretend that we will fight those tax increases. Let it pass the Senate first. then when it arrives in the House, change our tune and pass it in its entirety. We cannot take the blame.
Do the same with Amnesty. The hispanics expect him to pass amnesty. The democRATS really dont want amnesty because then they lose control of their precious new voting block. Force his hand. Pass Amnesty in the house. Make the democRATS decide.
Do the same for every issue. just like Obamacare, make Obama own every descision that he campaigned on. Yes, it will hurt is for the next four years but look at what has happened in Argentina. The lady who ran it like Obama is now ripe to be run out of office, her and her coalition.
People at some point have to suffer before they wise up.
Also, my wife and I have decided to turn off our TV during prime-time, minimize our movie going, stop dining out, , stop buying music, and have cancelled our newspaper and our magazines.
We also will not donate to Sandy victims because we heard on TV that Gov Christie and Obama have it all under control.
Yeah, the alternatives in this thread are nonstarters. People expect house republicans to elect a leader who will draw a line in the sand on taxes. Obama will laugh and pass it the way Bush passed TARP. I can guarantee my rep (Wolf Virginia) will fold. I will put money on it.
After he folded on TARP (voted yes the first time, but not yet for the second time) I and about 100k other constituents sent him a letter blasting his vote. We all got back the same form letter with his ridiculous logic (”if we don’t pass TARP the deficit will go up”). Thanks to his and other R stupidity we got Obama and the debt exploded!
