So what do we Republicans want, REALLY?

The fiscal cliff bill, which kept income taxes the same for those making under $400K (most of us) was better than doing nothing and having everyone's income taxes go up.  Raising taxes in a depression is a downer leading to more Great Depression, more layoffs, and less hiring.  
  And 150 Republicans voted FOR doing a cliff dive.  What did they want?  And did their constituents agree with their vote?  Did they think going all the way over the fiscal cliff was better than a taking half-a-loaf?  Taking more money away from working stiffs and giving it to Obama to fritter away on Solyndra is better?  I haven't heard any of these fiscal cliff divers explain what they want to do. Possibly they don't know themselves.
   The Republicans need to figure out what they want and where they are going.  And then push laws thru the House getting what they want.  If they want Paul Ryan's plan for Medicare, they need to pass it thru the House.  If they don't have the votes to go that far, nobody will think they are serious.  You gotta vote your plan into law or you are just a bunch of whiners.
  "Negotiating" with Obama is a non starter.  Obama likes federal spending, wants more of it, and wants more taxes to pay for it.  He will spend any extra revenue he gets, he won't use it to pay down the US debt. And he is a lousy negotiator.  Obama's idea of negotiating is "my way or the highway".  Don't negotiate with this turkey, just vote your plan into law.  If you can't do that, then you don't have a plan worth talking about.
  We are bumping up against the federal debt ceiling.  If not raised, the US will be unable to borrow more money to keep federal spending going.  Which means a lot of feeders at the federal trough will go hungry.
   The Republicans are talking about playing chicken with Obama, give us our spending cuts or no debt ceiling hike.  Unless they get together and agree just how far they are willing to go, Obama will call their bluff and the wimpier RINO's will fold.  And unless they can vote their desires thru the House, nobody will believe they mean it.
  So what do we Republicans want?  How bad do we want it?  Are we willing to cut off borrowing and force a massive reduction in federal spending.  Like right now, not ten years from now?  How much metaphorical blood are we willing to spill?  How much do we dare spill?
