<div><span style="font-size: x-large; ">----------------------------</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: x-large; ">As Congress and the President continue to fight over what they want done to stop the government default on October 17 it seems the only people who are willing to compromise are the moderate republicans in both the house and the senate.</span></div>

</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: x-large; ">According to the polls the majority of the people in the country would like to see ALL of the elected officials replaced because of their inability to govern.

<div><span style="font-size: x-large; "><br />
</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: x-large; ">The question becomes who will blink first and give in.

<div><span style="font-size: x-large; "><br />
</span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: x-large; ">At this juncture the republicans have to decide if they are going to capitulate again or go all in and let the default happen and face the consequences for standing up for their principles and doing what they see is best for our country.</span></div>
