RRD:Obama's goal all along has been to undo the Reagan Revoution.He believes(probably coorrectly) that Reagan deliberately starved the social welfare state of tax revenue.He intends to reverse this by spending massively(fn2), & then proclaiming that it would be irresponsible not to raise taxes & cut defense spending.
We must point this out at every opportunity.
We must also point out that he is a student of Alinsky:a man who openly advocates deception as a means of advancing one's goal.More fundamentally,Obama understands the Republican leadership,even if they do not understand him.He understands that they are unwilling to challenge him on the key political issue:The role of the Government.He understands that he is dealing with David Brooks types(albeit less extreme versions) not with principled champions of Individual Rights & Economic Liberty.
The Republican leadership(fn2),cannot win if they do not understand,--& will not fight for--Individual Rights.
Indeed,it is likely that the GOP leadership defines "winning" very differently than the Tea Party.Whether this is the case(and I think it is),or whether they are bumbling incompetents,they must go. Obama's fiscal speech -- full text of prepared remarks | Philip Klein | Beltway Confidential | Washington Examiner http://washingtonexaminer.com/blogs/beltway-confidential/2011/04/obamas-fisca... Footnotes: fn1. Yes Bush did too but for different ends,in any event Bush is gone,Obama isn't. fn2
And probably many Republicans officeholders.
