How the GOP Is Committing Political Suicide With Ryan's Extremist Budget Plan

[ProudDad]

"In the real world, Republicans won last year's popular vote by a 3-point margin, getting 21.6 percent of the vote while 18.6 percent went for the Dems (and almost 60 percent stayed home). And another reality, long understood by anyone who reads the polls, is that while people respond positively to the idea of limited government in the abstract, when it comes to specifics people love big government and most, if not all of what it does. They want a government that will educate their children and put out forest fires and pay for their million-dollar cancer treatments and make sure that big chemical companies aren't poisoning their water and keep them from having to eat cat food after they've put in 50 years in the workforce."

Unless Obama kicks the money changers out of his thinking, planning and RHETORIC and shouts out a Progressive message from the bully pulpit to his disaffected Progressive base AND the 60 PERCENT who stayed home, he will have pissed away the greatest opportunity in half a century to turn this shit around...

1. It's only suicide if Democrats make it abundantly clear they're fighting against it.

And they're not.
