Senate Republicans Vow to Block Dem Legislation Until Tax Cuts, Budget Pass - FoxNews.com
I completely agree that these are the two most pressing issues right now, but this looks very much like a "play by my rules or I'm going to take my ball and go home" attitude. The Republicans need to refine their image and I don't think this is going to win them any votes from the middle of the road voters.
All the usual suspects here will immediately turn this into a thread about the Democ... I'm sorry... Liberals.
But in the spirit of attempting to tap into people's critical-thinking skills, as opposed to the usual propaganda - how do you guys think this will effect the public image of the Republicans in the eyes of Independents? What's the strategy behind making the announcement now with barely 3 weeks left in the year as opposed to right after, or even before the elections?
