8. That its actually a good deal if you read up on it?

http://www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheet-victory-bipartisan-compromise-economy-american-people

No actual cuts until 2013.

Bush tax cuts expire, guaranteed.

Military spending cut 600 billion - the first time since the 90's they've been "on the table".

Medicare and SS untouched (so far, of course)

Universal healthcare funded and still on track

...and of course a sound-government responsible fiscal policy, that Clinton and plenty of other old-school democrats would approve of. The other side has a tendency to leave a big mess, while our side has a tendency to get things back on track.
