    This is why you can't have any kind of discussion with Crabby. He will never engage the issues, rather spending his time assigning homework.

    If these guys waste their chance to stand up and do what's right, we'll dump them next go around and find someone who will.

    I think this is the last shot for the Republicans. If they don't achieve several of their objectives, if the economy doesn't get humming again, I fear they may be done as a political party.

    And never forget democrats still own the senate and Obama has a veto.

    If that weren't true, Obamacare and the 2.6 trillion dollars it truly cost, would be gone tomorrow.

    When you say "if they don't achieve..."
    Are you talking about simply passing a bill in the House of Reps? Remember to make a bill a law, it must pass the Democrat controlled Senate and signed by His Majesty.

    Lets say they do pass several bills -ie cancel Health care - but Senate votes it down. Will the Republicans present the '12 election as the Democrats "as the party "NO" and help put the Republicans back in control of the Senate as well as the White house?

    So far from being a deprecation, saying no to the Socialists is what catapulted them into power.

    And you're advising them on how to succeed? :laugh:

    It is in the long term interest for the Repubs to maintain a 10% or greater unemployment to assure them the presidency.

    That is the kind of extremely ignorant statement I expect from you. You ask infantile questions and make silly comments, but do not add anything rational to the discussions you respond to. Additionally you almost never answer a question!

    No, I meant exactly what I said. The two parties need to cooperate, compromise some of their positions and find ways to help the US and the American people. This continued saying "No" to everything is very destructive to the country. Even when Obama proposed an idea that the GOP had been pushing for for years ... suddenly they said, "Bad idea. NO WAY." You seem to find it impossible to believe there are people who are moderates and believe a middle course is best. Extremes never are the best course and it is extremes that almost all politicians are drifting toward. If this continues it will be tragic for the US.

    It is time for both parties to put the country ahead of party politics.

    You still have not answered my question...

    What promises do you believe the Republicans have walked away from?

    More spin - but no substance.

    And no links please - this is a question that requires a personal expression.

    What promises do you think that the Republicans are walking away from?

    How am I to "figure out" what you think - when you won't say what it is that you think?

    Everyone here can see that you don't have an answer.

    No one is surprised.

    I am simply asking you to provide your opinion on what promises the Republicans are walking away from.

    You made the accusation - so I assumed that you had some examples.

    I guess it was my error in making that assumption.

    Oh well.... :laugh:

    I love it when CTB is unhappy with Washington. It only means that good is in store for America!

    No, what everyone sees is that you are purposefully avoiding answering a simple question. We don't have discussions on this board so that we can all just post links to opinion pieces from news sites. We have discussions to express our opinions on a topic.

    Why don't you simply answer the question? What promises does Crabby believe the Republicans have walked away from? If Crabby doesn't have an opinion on the subject, or he can't speak intelligently enough to do so, then Crabby should keep his mouth shut and fingers off the keyboard.

    I believe the articles I linked pretty well cover what I think. Anyone who cannot figure that out .... well ......
    My opinion does not come of of the blue, is not just my opinion. Tar simply wants me to make a statement so he can continue infantile questions and comments. He does this often. His questions are do not add to the discussion, just blows smoke and is his way of attempting to blow smoke. If he wants to add to the discussion show me articles that prove the ones I used as wrong.
