The Republicons shot for the moon and got it... we are about to get it back
Edited on Sat Feb-26-11 01:20 PM by Iwasthere
They have been shooting for the moon, not expecting they would get it. Now they are so used to getting it, getting all their goals, compromise?... phhht! You can see it in Boners face and every move. The strategy began over 10 years ago (actually Regan was the catalyst). It is so obvious that they set their goals at furthering the privatization of everything in this country and wiping out unions back when the idiot first became the resident. Bush even spoke about privatizing before 2000, in fact I remember arguing against this goal of his back in 2001 in an article to my local newspaper and I was touted a nut job. Their tactic all along has been to set their goals wildly and ridiculously high, assuming even a compromise would favor their party and the rich in a big way. Never in their wildest dreams did they expect they would receive such a feeble resistance, and that they would be handed so much power. The pendulum needs to swing quickly, and far, left in order to achieve mere balance in our country. An incremental swing will not do. Thank you Scott Walker for exposing the lies and starting the current, and growing movement back to sanity. We need to now boycott the wacko talk show idiots and their sponsors all across the country, support all of our unions and stand up, hit the streets. This is the only method that gets their attention, loss of revenue. Hit them while they are down, this is what their thugs do. I will never forget running a small restaurant strike in Seattle (local 8) back in the 80s and my picket captain was singled out by four paid thugs, after they were done with him the last one to dash off running turned and kicked him in the face with his sharp toed cowboy boot, driving his nose up into his head. The doctors said that he was lucky to live.

1. The plan to take this country down has been in the works for decades
and the only thing that has hampered them is the dems...and now they have bought and paid for many dems...and the likes of rahm have been helping by bringing in the blue dogs..
