How are you going to push him in the direction you want, if you keep defending him when his actions or decisions are questionable?
Especially now that you've signaled to him that you have no choice but to support him even though you have to grit your teeth to do so.
His thinking: "Heck, they've got no choice. I'll do what I want."
I know school teachers who go ballistic at the beginning of the school year on extremely little things their kids do. They do it on purpose. They say it gives the kids the idea, "If she gets that upset over this tiny thing, then I'm not pushing her on any of the big stuff."
People are not singlaing that they are going to follow him like lemmings. YThey are soignaling him that they are going to vote for him based on his positions that he is campaigning on and based on the desire to remove Obama.
Then, with a bunch of Tea Parte reps and sentors, we will hold him to those commitmtnets. The ones he made.
I believe, if he gets in and we have such majoirites in the House and Senate, he will fulfill them because the free market, non-regularoty, smaller government solutions he is proposing will work and he and the congress wil get credit (deservedly) for turning around an atrocious situation created by Obama.
You are projecting what you believe he will think, not what is going to actually happen.
Anyhow, we both agree that we have to get the most conservative, Tea Party oriented Congress possible in place and we can work (and must work) very hard together to get that done.
God’s speed.
