(70 posts)You have 2 doors to open. If you choose door A, you get some of what you want and a little you don't want. If you choose door B you get nothing you want.
Everything you said is valid. But how do you get everything you want when you have a republican house majority with tea sprinkled on top?
Take the Keystone pipeline. If you choose the door with middle class payroll tax cuts you have to agree to the pipeline. If not, regular people see their paychecks decrease. Which door will you choose. Last year the door was temporary extension of Bush tax cuts or no UI extension. Which door do you choose?
Of course when voters had the opportunity to vote in democrats they sat at home because they were mad. So now, everything we want is harder to get and we'll never get EVERYTHING we want anyway because 300million people don't all want the same things.
