It’s not just the GOP Establishment, it’s the entire “DC Establishment”

First Art Laffer, for whom I have tremendous respect, on Cavuto and then tonight on the Fox panel, Charles Krauthammer laid it out. The Republicans can not prevail in the manner most (including me) desire. They lack the political power. They did what they could, they laid powerful markers.
The solution to the problem will occur in November 2012 when the Republicans have a chance at the Presidency and both arms of congress. The election is the proper place to resolve the issue (Laffer) because only power can prevail and win the issue.
The statements are realistic assessments of the struggle. The fiscal conservatives can not prevail because they lack the clout. We have seen numerous examples of legislation passed that died in the Senate.
So that being true, and it is, the struggle boils down to gaining or losing the power. That is what is underway, a struggle for the power post November 2012.
Both sides are dragging the other through the slime. Presently the President and I suppose the Democrats seem weakened in the public opinion. The continuation of that trend is the only meaningful goal and outcome.
In the end the can in some form will be kicked down the road. That is the only feasible outcome. How far is now the issue under debate
