Regardless of what the polls say, the Republicans are losing this debate in the public eye. Only when the Republicans continue to tell the truth, that Obama is a liar, that tax increases are NOT the solution but simply a way to allow Democrats to continue to spend on pet programs at the cost of every American and that, if Obama was SERIOUS about this, he would be able to point to specific cuts he's proposing.

We are losing this debate because our representatives continue to be scared of the result of telling the truth and holding the line.

If the GOP does NOT hold the line on Obama and his class warfare and FDR-esque approach to redistribution, the GOP, as we know it will be dead. THAT is what is seriously at risk!

Obama is losing this debate. In general and on points. Big time.

That's my opinion. I base it on my educated hunch, 6 decades of life, of how people react to what is happening now.

When Obama claimed he could not guarantee SS checks, he lost it forever. He became the pessimistic bearer of what to many people is equivalent news of their imminent death. Like a once trusted Doctor who says I have no idea what's going on with you but you are likely to die.

He got EVERYONE'S intense, fully aware, fully committed attention.

He simply can not survive that kind of attention.

Reagan could and did. Reagan was an optimist with obvious faith in his fellow humans.

Obama has now shown himself to be a faithless pessimist. Not the Doctor one can tolerate in this circumstance.

Obama will not make it to the 2012 election.
