I heard John Gibson say this on Fox today. I am absolutely fine with that, but if they are going to give us what we want, lets go back to Eisenhower tax rates and implement Universal Health Care or Single Payer plan. Go big or go home.

Really ? Because I sent an email to Boehner yesterday telling him to let everything the Democrats wanted to pass and not debate it. I told him to give the Democrats everything they wanted so that the Republicans couldn't get blamed for all the ills in society.

I really did that.

A new health insurance option is not on the table. We still have 1 year to Obamcare. Next October they open the insurance pools. You lost your chance.

I never knew you had so much power. Apparently they are listening to you and Faux news...what a surprise.

You can put it on the table. I say put it on the table. It is what the Democrats wanted from the beginning. Obama care is a poor compromise. If they are going to give the Democrats what they want. Lets get it all done in one term. Lets roll back tax rates to Eisenhower time. Forget this piddly 3% raise. Lets put capital gains up to 70% for anything over a million a year.

Go big or go home.

Well, I guess the GOP can't get it any worse than the last strategy that didn't work.

[lose to Obama and now they're throwing in the towel]

Ok but what if it works? Can the Republicans then admit it, close up shop and go home? Or at least moderate, that'd be nice too.
