Principled stands are fine. Food for thought though, a grand bargain last year as compared to what we are going to get this time. Which do you think would have been better?
If the GOPe had made a principled stand last year we’d be dealing with a lame duck president this year.
Romney was obviously a loser, in a race that couldn’t be lost, now you have a broken, confused, directionless party that isn’t even sure what it’s politics are anymore, perhaps forever ruined by that disastrous choice of a democrat in all but name, your plan didn’t work out, or did it?
Had we given away more last year, we would be giving away even more this year.
Weakness is weakness.
