If appears at this moment that McConnell and the GOP negotiators caved in on the big things while Obama caved in on a couple minute things we don't care a RA about.
Also appears the true GOP conservatives are not cut into the procedings.....and are getting the info just a little before we are.
It's my guess the band of GOP conservatives undoubtedly will remain mute and say they had no part of the deal or the outcome and it will be true.They will get their cake and choke on it too. We will just choke on it.
Actually, it still remains to be seen in these waning hours before the stroke of midnight if the conservatives can block anything. I doubt if they can, I doubt if they'll even try....they'll just vote against the deal and walk away with clean hands.
We're going to have to sort out all these votes when the time comes to see who we will Tea Party and who we won't.
Obama will have a Happy New Year tonight. Michelle is probably out buying the pickled herring already.
