He didn't "embrace" 100% OF them though, he "embraced" the top 20%.

GOP Choice: Power or Sick Children Left Behind
Whether you are a conservative, a liberal, a progressive, a populist, a right wing loon, a left wing moonie, a libertine Libertarian, or a much dreaded centrist who is willing to do what the founders and framers did -- compromise, the GOP has given you a choice: Power or Sick Children Left Behind.

Obama is in his second year. He isn't doing bad compared to where other Presidents were in their second years. Reagan was written off.
The GOP is in trouble with health care arguments.
Looks like the left wants to play the politics of fear card. I think I'll just ignore threads like this until after the election and focus on the positive things candidates bring to the table.
I'm looking for candidates with real world business experience, a record of careful spending on their campaigns and private lives, those with weak ties to their parties and mostly plan oriented/positive ads.
Yea, like Carly Fiorina who cut tens of thousands of jobs and sent them to China because it made "business better".
I remember reading in an engineering magazine an engineer asked his CEO, "Aren't you worried about so many American jobs going to China" and the CEO said, "That's NOT my responsibility".
The biggest question is how Republicans will attempt to square the circle of calling for $4 trillion to be removed from the federal treasury in the next decade by making the Bush tax cuts permanent, adding a tax cut for small businesses on top of that, and simultaneously reducing the budget deficit while increasing funding for national missile defense. They will need to get a lot more specific—and drastic—in their budget cutting than the pledge's cap on discretionary spending. They say that will save "$100 billion in the first year alone," but that's not nearly enough to compensate for their other budget-busting plans. Conveniently, the pledge calculates how much spending cuts will save the government and how much tax cuts will save the taxpayer, but not how much their tax cuts or spending proposals will cost the government. As George W. Bush might say, that's "fuzzy Washington math."

That's because the GOP is still tyring to convince people that tax cuts to billionaires always end in increasing revenues.
The tax cut and borrow GOP has been pretty consistently lying to the American public about the laffer curve for the last 40 years.
And despite the fact that the evidence of their nonsensical math is all there for our perusal, and despite the fact that every time the GOP takes power the national debts increase to pay for their increases in military spending and uncessary misadventures in Asia, a whole LOT of Americans still believe that the GOP is the fiscally conservative party.
Both parties tend to razzle-ddazzle their partisan base with happy rhetoric, and then do whatever the hell they want.
The GOP just happens to be somewhat ahead of the Dems when it comes to being able to lie with a straight face and get away with it.

The GOP is certainly MORe fiscally conservative than the Dums. Of course that isn't saying much since we don't have a DrunkenSailors Party.
