(202 posts)I know it is hard to believe, but we need to think long term. President Obama has about 6 months to get anything done. Republican overreach is unpopular, but we the people have short memories.
In addition to giving Secretary Clinton a Comedy Central worthy "Happy Trails Def Jam Roast" masquerading as a hearing, these knuckleheads are planning on gerrymandering the next presidential election.
Letting these jokers dig their own graves with every opportunity is a good move. We need to maintain the middle and let the GOP strain and stretch that rope to the right until it breaks off and smacks them about the face and neck. It won't take long. Some of the more practiced liars in the party (Bobby "My-College-Girlfreind-was-POsessed-by-Say-tan" Jindal and Big Daddy Haley Barbour) are crying about the GOP stupid already.
Huff Po at this very moment (10pm Eastern) declares John Boehner: Ending Abortion Is 'One Of Our Most Fundamental Goals This Year'.
We need to allow the GOP to annihilate themselves and move to the left, so we can move to the left. This means we need to really focus on popular items like marriage equality, education, and safety.
