That means doing the right thing for the next two years, because in 2008 the Party of the People will hold the high ground, they already have a larger majority in the House than the GOP ever had during the Republican Hegemony. In 2008 there are 22 GOP Senate seats in play, with 10 expected to be open, on the other side the Democrats will only be defending 11 Senate seats, and only 4 of those will be open, so if they can keep the momentum going they can get a death grip on the Senate, and the White House.
Then they can play around, and dish out some bacon, but until then, they have to hold the line, if they do that, the GOP majority hasn't been born yet.
So what you just said is that they should do the right thing and be fiscally responsible for the next two years, which you think will ensure a larger majority for them in 2008, and once they obtain that it will then be okay for them to tell the voters to fuck off and can go back to putting us in even more debt than the Republicans did. Nice.

As I have said before, you are the problem in this country. You aren't the solution.
