Sarah has more courage than any of them. The more I pay attention to politics, the more upset I get.
At the end of the day, I knew that this latest episode would be a disappointment for conservatives. The fact is that the Congressional GOP was just playing footsie and pushed for some token cuts. Ultimately, the Senate and Obama wouldn’t be interested in substantial cuts, and the GOP feared that they would come out on the losing end of the PR war. If they aren’t prepared to take a risk over a few billion dollars, they aren’t prepared to fight the big battles either. The 2012 budget battle is where it gets interesting - let’s see if they even manage to mount inspiring rhetoric, let alone actual results. Obama and company will simply have nothing of it, so best we can hope for is a new President and Senate in town in 2013 where we might have a shot at serious change. Sarah has the right idea: I hope she continues to do her part with the battle over hearts and minds.
Thanks for the pingy .................. FRegards
