Reply #19: If the GOP was at least somewhat rational, I'd agree with you.

Unfortunately for all of us, they're not. I don't think public opinion matters to them at all. A vast majority of Americans wanted to raise taxes on the rich as a part of the debt deal, but they dismissed that as socialism and class warfare, for example.

Either way, going after them will hopefully result in huge liberal Democratic majorities in Congress. We won't have to worry about them then.
