The GOP knows how to play Liar's Poker
VT Sean Lewis
Before the 'Tax' Game even starts, the GOP has
set the rules. No Compromise.
President Obama just doesn't get the fact he has the
stronger hand. He is playing to the perceived hand
or strength of the GOP.
The reality is this.
Without accompanying Budget cuts to equal the
tax cuts, the NEW Tax cuts would only INCREASE
the Debt and Deficit.
Allowing the Bush tax cuts to the wealthy to sunset
is the first step towards fiscal responsibility.
The Sunset tax cuts would finance the shortfalls
in the Budget the US is correctly borrowing money
to balance the Budget.
The Tea Party Movement was all about NOT giving money
to people who do not need it, and balancing the Budget
and addressing the long term debt.
Public Opinion by an overwhelming majority support
allowing the tax cuts to the rich to sunset.
Yet The Democrats in their need to compromise for
bipartisanship are willing to ignore the will of the
people and listen to the voices of the People who are
not about Country, but Party first.
The result is that weak ineffective bills are passed,
if they are voted on at all. Policies are so ineffective
or delayed the results are negligible. The Republicans
obstruct, deny and sabotage honest attempts to fix
what is wrong for purely political reasons and have been
handsomely rewarded by a frustrated US population
that voted in protest not realizing the collective result
of this protest vote.
We will see the result of the GOP agenda over the
next two years. It will be clear ONLY if the Democrats
and President Obama force the Republicans to vote
on the policies Democrats and the American people
voted for overwhelmingly in 2006 and 2008.
Democrats are wholly ineffective at being a party of
force and strength even when they have large majorities.
Democrats in fact acted as if they were the minority for
the last 2 years and seemed to need GOP acceptance
on every Bill they put up for a vote. Democrats caved,
Republicans refused to compromise, then refused to
vote on the Bill because after gutting the Bill the GOP
claimed the Bill was now ineffective and would not achieve it's goals.
Republicans have no intention of changing strategy, why should they,
it works.
Democrats need to learn how to stand up for what they believe and get
a back bone, the first step is to learn the rules of Liar's Poker, a
game the GOP knows all too well!

ARMY STRONG!! This We'll Defend.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better
than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not
your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you.
May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were
our countrymen."
- Samuel Adams
The reality is this.
