So...<i>no fear</i>. What's the worst that can happen?<br /><br />Sounds like something once seen hanging in g'ma's kitchen.<br /><br />I think you're getting it. When you been there done that, when you've lost it all and have nothing left to lose...<br /><br />No fear.Ten Bearshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06594307610015584119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-50632149631639603552013-08-20T11:36:42.317-04:002013-08-20T11:36:42.317-04:00When the stakes are this high, of course they won&...When the stakes are this high, of course they won't fold their cards. <br /><br />They're just an election cycle or two away from Republicans, if they win the Presidency and both houses of Congress, turning this countries citizens into wage-slaves, happy to take any job at any wage from their Randian Plutocratic Uber-Menschen!!!<br /><br />So, no, a few short-term losses - like further ruining this countries credit rating, or causing another major rece/depre-ssion - is likely to stifle their support of the Republican Party.<br /><br />Besides, THOSE things might help to achieve their goals, faster!<br /><br />What WILL hurt them, is if the Republican Party splinters, and 3rd Party candidates decide to run as Teabaggers at the local, district, state, and national level.Victorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06609452382111686086noreply@blogger.com
