None. If the other side ever wins they will pass the most draconian laws imaginable as punishment for imagined damaged done to them. Even if we present republican plans (continuing the bush tax cuts, which we did. Passing the Heritage foundation/Romeny health care plan, which we did) they will accuse us of marxism and treason. Hell, these people refused to pass a veterans job bill in an attempt to destroy the president.
Lets give them a reason to hate us.

(103 posts)You won't get tried for sedition, blacklisted from the franchise as felons, or even expelled for treason (Any member of Congress who is out there declaring that they will allow the country to go bankrupt and default on it's debt are Capital-E "Enemies" of this country IMHO). We know you can't be impeached right now, but we won't even go after your buddies who are supporting you in these treasonous acts with the $$$ to wage your attempt at destroying America's civil stability.
In return, you renounce the Norquest tax pledge. In the old days, a pledge of allegiance to be an American citizen also meant renouncing allegiances that might result in a conflict of interest. Dual citizenship was not allowed. Nor should a divided Congressional legislative loyalty.
There's more I'd like to see, but getting the viper of divided loyalties out of Washington should be first.

(74 posts)the only way we can move forward is if we work on finishing what we have started. They probably will not work with the president so we need to make it our way. I do think that some republicans may and I use may here work with Obama because they see no political future if they don't. At any rate I do think that last night showed a progressive electorate in in high gear and that can only be good for us.
