Frankly, I love the historical undercurrent to this. :)
But let me ask you this: in what way would taking the Dems to the wall on this issue through a shutdown that Rasmussen said 57 percent of the people would approve to lower spending not be a way to ratchet up pressure?
And please do not misunderstand (and I trust you don’t): I’m going to be in the front line for the 2012 debate. I just honestly don’t feel we did all we could this time around. You are welcome to try to change my mind.
Frankly, I didn't beleive that poll. My gut tells me that an electorate malleable enough to elect a community organizer President of the United States is an electorate fickle enough to remember how much they love the loot Uncle Sam sends them. It would only take a day or two of sad news stories to turn Barry Obama into Saint Barack, Defender of the Little Guy. :)

Time for true confessions: you may be right. I just don't think we have the momentum, yet, to overcome a Democrat Senate (with a few RINOs mixed in) and Obama in the Oval Office. We need to keep the pressure on, build up steam, and smash the gates in 2012.
