Boehner, Cantor and Ryan have dedicated their lives to losing to the Liberal Democrats.

They call it “Bipartisan Compromise,” and we call it CAVE IN.

The Republicans are winning because they are on offense.

Once Boehner’s RINOs Cave In, they will be back on Defense, and thus continue to lose to the Liberal Democrats.

My thing is-they have been through similar situations and learned this lesson before. It's not like they don't have precedent for understanding that when they stand strong, especially opposing things unpopular with a majority of Americans (and if CommieCare is unpopular now, it's only going to get worse), they win. Not just with Republicans, everyone except hardcore leftists approves (or at least in the media, is unable to treat them with their usual contempt) when they show the courage of their convictions opposing an unpopular govenrment expansion. Why must they learn this lesson over and over, and be dragged to the schoolroom to learn it by a few brave souls, when we're lucky enough to have a few? Why do they always immediately revert to get-along go-along mode? One would think (sarcastically speaking) that the majority of them are only there to collect a paycheck and perks, and to make connections for future use in enriching themselves. They don't work to raise all that momey and spend it to get elected, for nothing, and it doesn't seem to be to represent the people who voted for them, usually.
