How Republicans Can ‘Man Up’ on the Debt

There was a lot of talk by Republican candidates during the campaign about the need to “man up.” Sarah Palin and Chris Christie both used the term. Christine O’Donnell told her primary opponent to “get your man pants on.” Georgia gubernatorial candidate Karen Handel told her run-off opponent that it was “time to put the big-boy pants on.”

But it was most widely noted when Sharron Angle told Harry Reid to “man up” and face the problem of Social Security solvency.

Good advice. Especially for Republicans in the new Congress who will need to man up...
