182. Yes, option one if it means saving SS, Medicare, ending any remaining Bush policies

Those policies have long lasting effects on the American people. Two years is not too long to fight for them. It took a long time to put them in place.

And the side effect of choosing Option One in our favor is that Republicans will be exposed for what they are, a pro Corporate anti-People extremist party. And it's more than likely that they too are thinking of 2014 and once they realize that Democrats are going to fight them for the good of the people, they will compromise.

I've been reading their post election reflections on why they lost, and many of them are finally coming to the conclusion that their views are not popular with the American people.

They are in a very weak position right now and they know it. All their money did not help them win. They are trashing people like Rove and Norquist. We don't even have to do it anymore.

But those policies are worth waiting them out for two years. Two years goes by pretty fast, but those relying on SS and Medicare for their very existence will still be here two years from now and if Dems compromise on any of those policies, those compromises will have decades of consequences to the most vulnerable Americans. And it's likely we will lose in 2014 as a result.
