The GOP always rationalizes why it is not the best time to fight. We did that during the 2010 lame duck session following our historic victory in the midterms. We decided to just extend the Bush tax cuts for another year rather than make them permanent. We are back in the same place again with the reality that Obama will have another four years. And by the way, the GOP did absolutely nothing in terms of making actual cuts in spending. Is it any wonder why the GOP is called the Stupid Party?
The simple and best answer is to stick to your principles and go down fighting. We either do what is best for the country or not. We are fast becoming a minority party due to demographics and a culture of dependency. Obamacare, another huge entitlement program, will be implemented. But it will usher in more taxes and greater deficits and debt. It is time to draw a line in the sand and tell the public that we can not continue down this road. Hear us now and believe us later. The collapse of the welfare state is inevitable. Now is the time to position ourselves to pick up the pieces.
Darn tootin'!
