Okay, Maetenloch has this Reagan quote in his Overnight post at Ace’s
Die-hard conservatives thought that if I couldn’t get everything I asked for, I should jump off the cliff with the flag flying-go down in flames. No, if I can get 70 or 80 percent of what it is I’m trying to get … I’ll take that and then continue to try to get the rest in the future.
If we were getting 70% I’d be happier with the GOP. I’d even be rooting for them.
Hell, if I were getting 50%, either repeal Obamadebaclecare or working on stopping Obamamnesty, I’d be fucking ecstatic.
Instead, I’m getting jack shit (and Jack ran out of gum) and being told it’s my fault that Obama is POTUS so I need to suck it up or Hillary! will be POTUS.
The GOP majority is doing exactly nothing to stop Obama, they’re happy about $trillion+ deficits each and every year.
I’m getting exactly 0% of what I want. Hell, McCain would happily take my guns away from me if he thought he could get away with. The Dems would as well. .
If our fine moral, political, intellectual and social betters are going to destroy the American experiment in self-rule, I’m not helping.
If telling me to suck it up after a bunch of statement elections where the GOP lost Congress, and two elections where they got it back, isn’t enough for them to do what we want them to do, well, I’ll let Cartman say it.
