Time for Compromise?

GOP Congressional leaders met with Barack Hussein Obama in an attempt to avert having the US fall off the so-called fiscal cliff. The Republicans emerged from the meeting declaring great optimism about "compromise" with the Obama administration. This is not the time for the GOP to abandon smaller government, more personal responsibility principles, but this is precisely what national party leadership, the so-called establishment Republicans are doing. They say elections have consequences, Obama won, and we can not be seen as obstructionists. GOP leadership in Washington do not want to be branded as an obstacle to prosperity and do not want the blame for pushing the nation over the fiscal cliff. Republicans now at the top could not be more wrong. If they cave in and give Obama carte blanche on these budgetary measures as I fear the current Republican leaders will, the time will have come for a real conservative third party to emerge to rescue America.
