Quote:They are losing the battle over higher taxes on the wealthy, so now Republicans are threatening a political war next year when it comes time to raise the nation's debt ceiling. With cracks appearing in their anti-tax facade and polls showing most Americans favoring President Barack Obama's stance in the fiscal cliff negotiations, GOP legislators are starting to advocate a tactical retreat to fight another day. Conservative Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-South Carolina, promised the newly re-elected Obama "one hell of a fight" next year if the president forces through his plan for high-income earners to pay more taxes without agreeing to substantive steps to reduce the nation's chronic federal deficits and debt. "But there will come a time in February and March where we have to raise the debt ceiling," Graham said Tuesday on "Piers Morgan Tonight" on CNN. "I will not raise the debt ceiling ever again until we get significant entitlement reforms, because if we don't reform entitlements, we're going to become Greece," adding that the situation presented a chance for Obama to lead. "But if he doesn't lead, there's going to be one hell of a fight over raising the debt ceiling."MUCH more at http://www.cnn.com/2012/12/11/politics/fiscal-cliff/index.html?hpt=hp_bn3

Quote:I want them to stop harming themselves, because at some point we will need a strong opposition to a truly ludicrous Democratic initiative... and they will have made themselves too weak to oppose it.

Quote:--There would b prosperity for all...good education...employment...mutual respect and cooperation...and as was always the case in the past..before they abolished all concept of self-responsibility, work ethic, moral rectitude...we would then re-build what was once a great nation. --Definitely cut down on the stupidity and money wasting. --it would be Utopian........No racism, no heavy taxes to pay for their entitlements, no more wars, no more hate, and the list is actually endless..............no more stupidity and ignorance......... --What a lovely, sane world it would then be. --We'd be much better off. --and the world would be a better place --You mean Paradise, right? --Imagine there's no liberals, It's easy if you try, No one emasculating that sensative and yet masculine guy, Imagine all the searching for a way to live, Not on welfare but to make it and back to the needy give...... --That must be like Heaven is like :) --The world would be better off without liberals --There would be more $$ in my paycheck, gasoline would be cheaper, most goods and services would cost less...and there would be less WHINNING on television!! --It would then define the America we are supposed to be. --I think most liberals today are very confused about what it means to be an American ! --Other sewer rats would show up to fill the nitch. Look what happened when liberals lost their Soviet heroes, they jumped on the global warming band wagon. If you take one out, two more show up to reinfect the world. http://www.sodahead.com/united-states/imagine-no-liberals/question-2281361/?page=1#comments
