B) Worse comes to worse: Pass a short-term extension, but *not* on the terms required by Obama for extending the "Gang of Six" talks. Call Obama's bluff... yet again.

Tell me what it means "not on the terms required by obama for extending the ... talks".

If we have an extension of say 90 days... why would omarxist not be working on a grand deal during said 90 days? What terms are there that would prevent it?

- Basically, you would front-load the immediate cuts, and a bulk of the Trillion, or so agreed-upon "Biden talks" cuts, in the short-term deal (and specifically leave out as many terms Obama wants that you feel would be a hindrance in the future). Then, even if Obama and the RINOs worked on a "grand deal" after that, they would be forced to come up with new cuts to get any kind of agreement down the road.

Throw a wrench in his plans, basically. The American people are tired of being on the edge all the time, and stressed out... This is our final offer- take it, or the default's on you.

We cannot stop Obama from proposing. the good news is he is lazy and depends on others to propose. That’s not the issue. What we CAN do is stop the GOP from blundering into a bad deal in a panic.

Gang of 6 is a ‘setup’ for a bipartisan crap sandwich deal.

We HAVE to have a better “back-stop” plan than an glide-path to gang of 6.... it’s a big trap, like any of the grand bargains.

Not possible to have real reform until Jan 2013 and the nest of vipers is cleaned out.
