    Crabby thinks that links = discussion.

    The result of an inability to express one's thoughts with one's own words.

    Still avoiding the question. Why do you even bother to come to this site? Do you think that we need a guy to post links for us? Either contribute to the discussion or move on. You'd probably fit in well over at http://www.happyatheistforum.com

    Crabby's first assertion:

    Then his re-iteration:

    My response to his incorrect statements (at the least), or intellectual dishonesty (at the most):

    Crabby's meltdown, and re-statement of his (il)logical position (completely ignoring what I stated):

    I repeat my statement: When a party repeatedly promotes horrible ideas that morgage our future, rob us of freedoms, and dis-incentivize hard work and initiative--not to mention contradict our most basic foundational documents--what are they supposed to do? They did not have the votes to do anything else.

    Now...call 'em what you want. It's not like you're willing to be honest and look at an issue objectively anyhow.

    But just on the outside chance you're willing to engage in discussion...what other choice did the Republicans have?

    I eagerly await your non-reply, homework assignment, insult, or hasty departure.

    The Republicans ran on a bunch of promises. They have to deliver.

    Stop Cap and Trade
    Pass a Balanced Budget Amendment
    Limit annual growth in federal spending
    Freeze government spending
    Repeal health care bill
    Place moratorium on earmarks, eventually eliminate them


    That sounds like a good strategy to me.

    Health Care - POTUS would Veto
    Balanced Budget - would Senate agree? then 33 States or Commonwealths?

    Budget Items - will have a big say - if they dont pass outrageous $ bills - then that will be stopped.

    Yes, and preferably he would do it in September or October of 2012, just before the election.
