The very definition of a strawman is what you're putting up. I've not even taken a side here. Unlike some people, I don't need a political party to tell me what to think.
Not once did I say anything about Clinton era policies. All I've said so far is that I'm not confident that Boehner has the political capital to spend here. At least not enough to win this battle when Obama has nothing to lose. Boehner's the one who has to run in 2 years. Obama doesn't ever have to run for anything ever again.
So whatever you want to say about "ramming a progressive agenda" the question is who wins if we go over the cliff. If you think Boehner win, fine. I doubt it. I'm certain that you'll think he wins no matter what. But thanks for letting us know that Republicans winning a stupid power play means more to you anything else. It says a lot.
No stawman here, just reading what you are saying, and restating it without the vague double speak.
I am well aware of how a bill works, and from what America saw in the last term, they saw bill after bill passed in the house that would have helped, be thwarted by Reid, like an Obama lap dog, whether it would have helped America or not.
Where is a budget?
This is all about ramming the progressive agenda down America's throat. And to that I say stand your ground. We will not sacrifice principles just to give more power over to demo's, and that is not what America voted for. Remember they increased the number of repubs in the house.
I say if you want to go back to Clinton era policies, and taxes, at this point go right the hell ahead! Just be sure to scope out the programs that progressives love, that they will also lose because of that....
