Based on today's outpouring in DC, I am still encouraged, that American Patriots will take this Republic back from the brink. This writer, like his/her sniveling sycophants, are out-of-touch with the will of the People. *WE THE PEOPLE*, that's us.

Whether he’s right or not, what bothers me is that I know 100% the Republicans in the leadership will blow it.
Peter Beinart is a hardcore leftist but at least he understands the idea that in a negotiation you start off asking for more than you are willing to settle for. Too bad people like Michael Medved, John Podhoretz, Jonah Goldberg, Charles Krauthammer and most of the Republicans in the United States Senate don’t understand that basic principle of negotiation.
Damn if your not right and that is very discouraging!
Not so sure. They got obama to cut the growth of government and drop his plan to erase the bush tax cuts for all of us.
sure the media pretends that obama was the victor in these deal. I don’t think so.
Agreed. Play hardball and when you hit them with a softball they think they’ve won. They completely forget about not getting hit by any kind of ball at all. LOL!
Is this sarcasm? If so, it is done so badly that I have no idea about what you are saying...
All I know is in the end our guys are going to blow it. their track record is clear. The leadership genuinely has no desire to repeal obamacare. They may love it’s imploding and it’s the disaster WE have all warned about, but they’ve given in on this again and again and they just do not have the guts to go up against Obama. They just hate the media hating them, and they don’t know and don’t want to deal with the “racist” label the media, obama and leftist groups will hit them with. They never have.
And with turncoats in the group like McCain and Graham, and compromisers like Ryan - who is dead to me - it ain’t going to end well for us because if anyone knows how to snatch defeat from victory, it’s this fuster cluck of GOP elite RINOS and conservative-purging leadership we have right now.
And I take no pleasure in being right about this. I am pissed I am right about this.
I am drinking his sweet, sweet tears
The comments under the article are precious.
Are the posters here who insist the R’s will fold the same ones who said the R’s would never go forward with the shutdown?
Asking for a friend.
I like this govt slowdown. I like it better every day.

Amen brother. Every day the gov't is 'shutdown' is a good day for believers in small gov't.
One of the most reliable Leftist tactics is to blame their victims of what they are doing. This is a perfect example.
The natural state is that the Federal Government increases spending and raises taxes forever and ever, Amen. The Democrat Party is insane.
The first Jew finally can't take it anymore, he asks the second Jew, how can you read that Nazi rag.
The second Jew says, well you read how weak, poor and oppressed the Jews are. In my paper, I read how rich and powerful Jews are, that they run the world.
Beinart's in a different world from us.
$1.2 trillion over TEN years ? That’s nothing. We need to be cutting that much and more every YEAR.
Love the joke, but there's a problem. The New York Times was 100% on-board with the Nazis.
You think the fact that you now have a permanent Bush tax cut along with 99% of us is sarcasm? Really?
