What would be the deal breakers for you???

I don't see any such candidate that could do it... YET. And I'm sure the party power brokers wouldn't allow it... IOW they do all they can to squelch any such move... so I really don't see it happening.

That said... The two deal breakers for me would be:

1) Extending the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy.

I know he's said he wouldn't raise taxes on anybody making over $250,000 a year, but that's a "per couple" average as far as I know, so what he's really saying is he wouldn't raise taxes, or would extend the Bush tax cuts for anybody making under $125,000 per year.

If he does... game over for me.

2) The Catfood Commission recommends, and the Obama Administration agrees, that Social Security and Medicare need to be cut.

Either of those two things happen, and I'm supporting a primary challenge, going Green, or getting a pedicure.

Anybody else???

:shrug:
