Random strategy thought on the payroll-tax thing

[WilliamPitt]

The Dems should make the GOP candidates take a stand on the issue. Two outcomes:

1. The GOP candidates back the House GOP and look like monsters.

2. The GOP candidates criticize the House GOP, and create open warfare within the party on the doorstep of the primary season.

The Dems are not smart enough to paint the GOP into this corner, but it's what should happen.

Thoughts?

1. You're absolutely right.

Let's have some ideas on how to "make the GOP candidates take a stand." The media is so tightly controlled, no legitimate, tough questions are able to make it through the bamboo shrubs of protection from the light of truthfulness and timeliness.

2. K&R for a win/win situation. . . n/t

3. Looks like somebody had the same idea. Check it out:

4. Democrats are smart enough

However, they are corrupt enough to use the Rethuglicans as a scapegoat to abdicate all responsibility in holding their corporate masters accountable.

7. Yes, those poor innocent Republicans

5. I think, perhaps...

...neither Party really wants it. They are only competing over who can get credit for pretending to want it. It is a purely political issue, which is bad for both Parties in the long run.

However, it is rather enjoyable to watch the Repubs try to wiggle free from a mess of their own making.

6. Oh, they're smart enough alright. The thing is, their employers won't allow it. nt
