OK, its apparent that some people think we will win a PR war if we let the president win this and simply raise taxes sending the economy into another recesssion while increasing the budget deficit through lower overal tax receipts. This is faulty thinking at best and strategically a loser in the short and long term. The Press is never going to give the R’s any props for anything they do. It’s just impossible. They are at permanent war with us and every battle is spun to their advantage no matter what. If you don’t believe that just look at the last 4 years and how the R’s STILL get the blame for the economy.
I think I tend to agree with you. If the bulk of the populace is so brain-dead as to still be blaming Bush after four years, they’ll still be blaming him after 8. Or 48. Or 148.
I see.
So Republicans need to keep flipping off and fighting against their own base so to try to save the Republic?
It’s this attitude that got us where we are today.
No I’m sorry. We need to fight this - starting right now.
There is nothing left to compromise on.
