This just now from Charles Krauthammer, who is nobody's idea of a RINO:
Obama faces two massive problems — jobs and debt. They’re both the result of his spectacularly failed Keynesian gamble: massive spending that left us a stagnant economy with high and chronic unemployment — and a staggering debt burden. Obama is desperate to share ownership of this failure. Economic dislocation from a debt-ceiling crisis precisely serves that purpose — if the Republicans play along. The perfect out: Those crazy tea partiers ruined the recovery!
Why would any conservative collaborate with that ploy? November 2012 constitutes the new conservatism’s one chance to restructure government and change the ideological course of the country. Why risk forfeiting that outcome by offering to share ownership of Obama’s wreckage?
He's absolutely right.
No, bpth of you are wrong.
If the Republicans pass the Boner bill, there will be two bills that won’t pass the Senate, or, this one gets Dingy Harry’s treatment and the Republicans agree to pass the compromise and the sh*t hits the fan and the Republicans still own it.
It’s better to be principled and screwed than to roll over and be screwed. The latter says you both wanted it and the shared responsibility for the repercussions.
Sorry, KRAUTHAMMER is a big time establishment RINO and opponent of the tea party. He has no idea what the grassroots tea party is all about.
He’s right about this:
“Obama faces two massive problems — jobs and debt. They’re both the result of his spectacularly failed Keynesian gamble: massive spending that left us a stagnant economy with high and chronic unemployment — and a staggering debt burden. Obama is desperate to share ownership of this failure.”
But falls waay short on the solution. We cannot get out of debt by piling on more debt. We must not compromise with the left and give Obama another blank check. We must hold the line on spending!!
If KRAUTHAMMER and pundits of his etablishment RINO ilk would work as hard for liberty as he and they do for promoting left-wing crisis/panic propaganda, then perhaps it might make our job of convincing the public a little easier.
Who trying to kid here kiddo. He is a democrat at heart. Peddle that line over on DU.
