Please take a moment today to thank all those who gave their lives in service to their country……and speaking of dead or dying…….
For about two months now the GOP has been taking lots of grief over their budget proposal that would essentially eliminate Medicare…they are on record ion the House as voting to do so…and soon in the Senate…..they are toeing the party line by supporting it…..but all the rumblings are that they really want to try and distance themselves from the proposal….look for them to try and divert the voters attention with some other manufactured issue to try and do just that…..
Well, first Eric Cantor has said that Paul Ryan should run for the Senate for Wisconsin……since he is being billed as the “Boy Genius” of the GOP, this would be a great idea….it would take him out of the media filter and give him something to focus on other than the Medicare proposal that the entire is trying quietly to run away from before the 2012 election.
Next…..a budget deal……they need to work hard to come up with a deal with Dems without killing Medicare…this is possible because almost ALL Dems are saying that the situation with Medicare needs to be addressed but in a way that protects people’s need for the program……
Lastly……A Candidate……the GOP is desperate for a real candidate…..right now they have mostly wannabes that are in love with personal appearances and light on real solutions to the country’s problems…..they have 3 sorta promising candidates……Romney and T-Paw and the one that is in the weeds…Huntsman….the problem is all 3 have a massive amount of baggage that the base is just not that into……
So, can the GOP rescue itself? YES, but only if they find a real candidate and the election season draws closer and they still have NOT found the one……,it is looking very likely that the GOP is in trouble….at least for now……
