“Curt” is either off base on this or a troll. Engaging in this kind of battle now, so soon after the election and inauguration, would be seen as pathetic and childish.
Boehner and the GOP are - - finally - - making a smart move.
The rats won’t have an opportunity to convince the ignorant chattering class that the Republicans are vindictive sore losers, and the fossilized undertaker Reid will be forced to finally DO something, ie., pass the first budget from the senate in four years. Plus, the African communist will have three months to wonder what the Republicans are up to.
In three months, after the ignorant chattering class has gone back to sleep, the time will be much better to go to war with the African communist.
I like this. Finally, a genuine strategy is emerging.
Yup, pretty much my point from earlier.
Note also that Reid will face his own conference that have significant numbers who want real, actual spending cuts to the baseline. This will make it very hard for him to produce a budget.
The optics on that failure would be favorable.
How long do you think it will take to amend the Constitution to make that possible?
