Note to the GOP: Remove your head from your…
Okay here’s where we are:
A lame duck congress full of OUTGOING liberals/Democrats Are pushing amnesty cloaked in the “Dream Act”
The GOP’s leaders have decided to “Compromise” with the POTUS and give us a trillion dollars more debt in exchange for not taxing anyone anymore than they are being taxed right now.
These are the big two issues on the table right now and the GOP has a strong hand in each. America has sent the GOP a message and given them a second chance. As of right now they are on the verge of making sure they never occupy a power position in either house for a long time.
IF the Dream act passes the Democrats will feel it in 2012 by another drubbing. IF any Republicans sign on to it, they will be challenged heavily on it and the push to have them removed will make 2010 look like just another election. This “Addition” to the deficit doesn’t bother the Democrats, this amnesty is just a shot across the bow and the American people see it.
The next on the table is this so-called compromise on the Bush tax cuts. The GOP made a HUGE error by signing on to this crap. But that’s done. NOW they need to find away to back away from this travesty. Fortunately the Democrats are as inept. They are adding to that compromise which nullifies the agreement if the GOP got their heads out of their asses. The deal was on the table, any adjustments to it nullify it in the court of law as well as the court of public opinion.
The GOP must back away from this agreement with the POTUS. It’s not good for the nation nor is it good for your party. The vote needs to be simple, extend the Bush tax rates for 1 or 2 years or permanent. PERIOD no sweeteners, nothing. You either vote to keep things the way they are RIGHT NOW, or you vote to let them expire. NOTHING ELSE. And let the chips fall where they may.
This is not rocket science nor is it “Complicated” it’s only complicated because you made it this way. Man up. Vote NO on anything that includes anything other than JUST the extension of current rates. PERIOD. Stop all the BULLSHIT!

You aren’t the only one who despises this practice of tying so many things together and voting on them all at the same time. For once, I would like to see a particular piece of legislation, any piece of legislation, stand on it’s own two feet, pass or fail on it’s own merits.
Concerning the tax cut deal, by the time the Democrats get through with it, it may unrecognizable. From what I can understand, they are tacking on everything under the sun.
LD, Yep and some of the republicans need to have a quick exit on a rail. The new guys are not of to great start…. We’ll see in January if our efforts in 2010 were worth it.
I am actually looking forward to seeing how they manage themselves in the House. I don’t mean to be so hard on them, but their feet needs to be held to the fire.
