Good read.
http://www.alternet.org/10-things-republicans-hate-and-would-likely-go-after-next-if-dems-give
Heres the list of things Republicans hate:
Social Security. Medicare. Public schools. Environmental Protection. The Food and Drug Administration. The minimum wage. The eight-hour workday and the 40-hour workweek. Unions and the National Labor Relations Board the right of workers to organize. The 47% of Americans who they say are takers and moochers. Anything other than fossil fuels to provide energy.

(41,831 posts)That the President vacate the White House and go back to Chicago while the Highest Ranking Republican would take over as President. Its sounds like something they would seriously consider.

(89 posts)This is important in bringing attention to what Tea Cruz-and-Friends are attempting. It is one thing to shrug off a strike against all things Obama as in Obamacare (he is after all not one of US as a Kenyan, Muslim, Anti American, Anti Gun, Communist, Gay, Chicago Political Machine Gangster, Manchurian President working to bring down USA with a wife that will Mandates we drink water). It is another to see that these same wingers can NEXT demand to defund or strike out your government program or your rights gained through legitimate legislative processes.
The speaker and all on message republicans say the President will not negotiate. That is so absurd as to be laughable. Why would the President negotiate with people that seek to standardize the means to tear at the legitimate rights of all Americans about anything they dislike this time or the next. And why is this false negotiate narrative not laughed off the airways.

It would also mean that they can now ask for more.
