I am with you. Unfortunately, the Republicans have not shown a lot of political courage. The last time they did was when Newt Gingrich was in town, and even then they caved rather than continue to let the drive by media savage them for confronting BJ Clinton about the budget.
They need to take a lesson from Gov. Chris Christie of NJ. He has taken on the media, the teachers, the public employees unions, and the Democrats. Spending is out of control, and he told the unions to go to hell. Property taxes have increased by 70% in nine years so that the teachers and public employees could get huge salary increases, while contributing ZERO to their own health care plans.
He vetoed another "Millionaires tax" increase proposal this week. The Demoncrats wanted it so they could potentially funnel billions more to the teachers union in pay, but Christie told them NJ has already lost $70 Billion over the last four years with higher income residents fleeing the state. Christie was on the news last night for a live broadcast on local PBS. The liberal media clown tried to intimidate him, and Christie body slammed the reporter. He told them the public employee unions were the school yard bully, not him. He simply punched the bully back, and now the bully is crying and complaining. The liberal media clown then tried to tell him he was "hurting" children, and Christie told him he wasn't hurting anyone - the unions are greedy.
The Republicans (should they gain the House) need to completely shut down the budget process until ObamaCare is repealed. Period. Dot.
If they don't do that, they will have lost that window of opportunity - - forever.
