This is insane. Don’t give them anything. If the American people want what the dems have to offer, they would have given them the House of Representatives. They did NOT. On the contrary, Obama spoke like a Republican—balanced budgets, reducing the deficit, fiscal responsibility. And the American people left the adult party in control of the House.
Unless and until the dems get control of the House by election, they should not be handed it by traitorous, stupid, angry Republicans throwing a tantrum because their guy was not elected president. The fate of millions is at stake, not making a political point.
No disagreement with you, and war is always insane. We did lose this battle though. What do Conservatives do to win the war? Remember President Hoover? or should that question mark be an exclamation point, and a battle cry.
Smaller Districts elect Representatives. Those may be conservative. But entire states elect Senators and they elected Ds...even more than before.
We are shrugging. We are old, our assets are diminished,we will be gone by the time it falls apart or we will be taken down in the Fall.
Everyone under 60 who voted for this can live it. Fight them and all you will get is the blame and more hatred and maybe violence. You want to go out guns blazing and I can understand that. But it will simply delay the inevitable by less time than is needed to defeat it and will get you, yours and all non-progressives punished in the bargain.
Giles is a fighter. I understand his strategy.
