I may have taken some liberty with the actual words of Ron Paul so I include them and a link. However, I SUSPECT THIS IS, IN FACT, A DELIBERATE PLOY BY OBAMA AND HIS COHORTS. I ALSO THINK THAT IF THE REPUBLICANS CAVE THEY WILL LOSE THEIR ADVANTAGE AND, CERTAINLY, THE PRESIDENCY. -F
“The fact is, Republicans were put back in power during the last election to stop the runaway spending in Washington, D.C.—not to cut ‘deals’ that increase taxes and spending,� said Paul.
“If Republicans cave on their Tea Party mandate now, I believe they will pay a severe price at the ballot box in 2012, and I also think that President Obama believes the same. That is why he is pushing for this deal, but Republicans should not fall for it.�
