Like I said in another thread... (and I'm not a republican, BTW, I'm a lbertarian):
Regardless of whether you and your liberal pundits don't like the plans that the Republicans put out, at least they put out a plan on paper for people to actually analyze. The Democrats, with only 4 days left, STILL HAVE OUT NOTHING ON PAPER. It seems pretty clear that the reasoning behind this is PURELY political. They would rather have the Republicans put something out, then if they can persuade them to change it in a way that alienates the Republican base, that works for the Dem's, while in the meantime always being able to say to the Democratic base that it wasn't the Dem's fault that the plan had stuff the Dem's didn't like in it, since it is a "Republican" plan.
So please get off the high and mighty horse, you Dem's out there. Your party is MUCH more interested in the politics of this situation than they are in putting out a real plan to fix it.

Actually, they have a proposal, which has details being argued over, so clearly, they have something.
What the Reps have done is pushed through 3 complete shit bills, all with a political agenda to set Obama up to fail in 2012, so they can block the budget then. That's before the actual bills being filled with trash cuts that didn't do anything important, other than move the talks up a year.
I would rather they stop putting out plans that waste everyones time... and actually create a plan that if voted down, would actually drive the base and other side mad - but that is far from what is being offered.
