One of the biggest mistakes the Republican Party has made has been the entirety of the issue of tax cuts. The party allowed the dems to totally distort the tax cuts and then compounded the problem by not returning to our conservative roots and leading the way in calling for them to be ended.
The simple fact is that I don't know a single wealthy person (and I know quite a few) that is against repealing the tax cuts for the richest as long as the government starts spending our money in a much more sensible manner. This is why I suggest Speaker Boehner not only agree to the President's request to end those cuts but to lead the way. He should offer (through the press) that we whole heartily support the plan to end the cuts for the wealthiest coupled with across the board 5% spending cuts. By across the board I mean everything including defense.
It is far past time our elected nitwits start actually doing the right things for this country rather than what is politically expedient. This should be played out in complete transparency in the court of public opinion via the media. The party position should be we are trying to work with the President and Dems in Congress. If they resist the spending cuts blow it all open in the press and turn it around on them.
Frankly, I think we should clean house of all the wonks and consultants and shitty public relations types that just have not done their job.

One needs to wonder why we need 11 Carrier battle groups when the the next largest fleet of carriers is 3 carrier battle groups.
Attack subs cost 1/3 as much as a carrier and require less than 20% of the man power.
B-2 bombers at 2 billion a copy???
F-22's at half a billion a copy???
There is so much fat that can be cut from our budget it is a joke that our elected reps can't seem to be able to find a way.
