I’m not happy with it. But politics is the art of the possible and conservatives who insist on asking for the impossible will only harm our chances of turning Obama into a real lame duck year.
When he is drowning, they want to throw him a life vest through another ill-advised government shutdown. The GOP would have eventually had to vote for another budget retreat when that was all over.
Wiser heads saved the GOP from another humiliating rout at the hands of Obama and the Democrats.
N-i-c-e take---I kinda liked it when Boehner got ballsy, for once. Even though he aimed it at conservatives.
That's the Christie MO--his advice to Repubs---how he demolished Dems, he says.
I don't mind taking a bit of a tongue-lashing as long as we keep our eye on “The Prize” rather than on Boehner’s blatherings fueled by old demon rum.
The Prize? That would be totally annihilating liberalism and trampling Democrats in 2014, and beyond.
==============================================
As FReeper sickoflibs wisely said: "I am not taking this back and forth over the budget the least bit seriously. Right now I want to see Dems get a major licking in 2014, and see Obama, Pelosi, Reid, Wasserman-Schultz, and other Dems, humiliated at the polls."
Amen.
