The Democrats are coming out with guns blazing, threatening to strip the Republicans in the senate of power, demanding huge tax increases, letting the Bush tax cuts expire, and demanding that the Republicans raise the debt ceiling.
Why? For the simple reason that the Democrats *understand* that two years is a long time.
The Republicans are acting like abused co-dependents trailing along with their abusive spouse, using the bad logic that, “Unless I do what he wants me to do now, he will *really* beat the hell out of me later.”
Sorry, Republicans. The Democrats have been beating you for years, while you have cowered before them and done what they said, always hoping that they will stop beating you.
Guess what? Unless you stand up to them now, in the next elections you are going to be thrashed to within an inch of your lives. And because you have been such weaklings, you will actually deserve it.
The American people *hate* sniveling, spineless losers. You can’t “make up” to the American people by begging them, whining to them, that if you only had political power, you would have a spine.
Nope. You had your chance. You controlled the presidency, and both houses of congress, and still you acted like an abused spouse to the Democrats. Always willing to “cross the aisle”, to do what they wanted to do, to empower them to belittle you and tear you down.
To take away from you that which you said you wanted.
So, here it is, one last chance. Your weakling liberal Republican presidential candidate failed, so now it is up to the house of representatives.
Your one last chance. If you refuse to give the Democrats what they want, they will threaten to beat you, and the MSM will hold their coat. But if you can hang tough for two or three months of abuse, suddenly everything will change.
After that short time, the pressure on you will abate, and the Democrats will be getting pressure like you cannot believe. All their followers will demand that they *do* something. That they make you, the Republicans, obey.
But if you hold firm, there is nothing the Democrats can do to force you to give them what they want. They will finally get what’s coming to them, ten times, a hundred times worse than what you have gotten.
And like the bullies they are, when slapped around by the “big kids”, the Democrats will show their cowardice, their yellow bellies, and they will beg you, plead with you, for your cooperation.
And you will then have a chance to have a spine again.
Hallelujah!!
