Add Howard Dean, Robert Reich, and Lawrence O'Donnell to the jumper list.

There is economic uncertainty in going over the cliff

Most are of the opinion that it will brake the recovery and push us back into recession, as a minimum

However, the political and societal consequences of going along with the bozo parties positions are untenable

None of this will be lost on most Americans

What remains is whether the zealots can retain their power in the House in the face of such tactics

To allow a party to voluntarily subject our country to serial economic attacks to achieve minority objectives screams out for a system overhaul

It's time for a constitutional convention

I want Obama to go over the cliff because then, he's in the drivers seat. He can go to the bully pulpit and tell all Americans that he's offering Republicans a bill to retroactively cut taxes for 98% of Americans, and DARE them to vote against it.

I want that delicious moment, and I think Obama does too.
