However, Reid really stepped in it with his comment about not helping children with cancer and now we see the piece of garbage in the white house inviting congressional leaders to talk. I doubt anything gets done, but obviously obama's "I won't negotiate" isn't going over well.
The longer this goes the better it is for the Pubs.
The debt ceiling is right around the corner and I don't see this being resolved before that. At that point the pressure is all on obama. The House has remained in session and has been making all kinds of proposals. The Rats have done nothing. A week from now the Rat base is going to start getting nervous. They have bills to pay and they aren't working.
It's the weak in the knees Pubs that I worry about. The conservatives will hang in there.
If they cave ....even a wee bit..all hell is gonna break loose!!!!!!!!
We will be right in the middle LOL
Well ya, they both have very different types votes in their congressional districts whoes voters demand different things, Peter King's (LI NY) Versus Lou Gomert’s district TX are completely different.
But that is a reality that is not news. expect maybe for Rush listeners.
Yes, I agree 100% I think them offering stuff Obama will reject is a great weapon not appreciated on talk radio, as with the target appropriations.. See : How Lee and Cruz are using the House compromise offers as weapons in TV interviews #16
,I think the debt limit merging with CR shutdown could be good or bad
Good because Obama’s claim debt limit bill is GOP congress paying its past bills is lame when he's demanding a specific CR all or nothing at same time and blaming GOP for shutdown, so how is it GOP bills to pay when Obama is attacking them for not spending?
Bad if GOP moderates panic on shutdown at the wrong time and Bohner was to cave on both at same time getting nothing
That would be a disaster and I would blame all Republicans for it.
