WASHINGTON – The GOP's image as a rigidly anti-tax party is softening. Spurred by federal debt worries in Congress, the shift conceivably could reshape the Republican Party's brand ahead of the 2012 elections, forcing tough decisions by its presidential candidates. [...]
In recent months, growing numbers of Republican lawmakers and strategists have grown wary of the no-exceptions position. They fear independent voters will abandon the GOP next year if it seems too rigid and beholden to tea partyers. They also worry that another deficit-reduction impasse will further erode Congress' image, and House Republicans might be handy election targets.

I don't care which party runs the country, whether it is Dems or Pubs, all I care about is do what is right for American and Americans.f We need businesses, large and small, and we need the wealthy and the poor so that we can have a middle class. We need greed for economic growth and we need the leverage of debt so that we can extend our reach.
What we need is BALANCE...
