Why is it that too many Freepers always see the glass as half empty. Give me the Reagan optimism anytime. (I might add, Reagan had to compromise too). You will never get everything you want. You get the best deal you can negotiate, hopefully better than the party you are negotiating with. Boehner did this admirably. Geez, some Freepers are as big a downer as Glenn Beck’s shows lately.
Yes, Boehner is the winner in this deal. No one would have won with a shut down.
We need to get the Senate and WH, and then we can play Atlas better.
Absolutely. The next fight - starting almost immediately - is for next year's budget.
Isn’t it amazing how many people here ignore that without the senate voting for it and without Obama signing it, the Repubs can’t pass anything!
