“In a rare alliance, President Barack Obama and Speaker John Boehner scrambled ...”

You beat me to it.

Which group will cave in more to get this terrible budget passed — the Conservative Republicans to John Boehner, or the liberal Democrats to Nancy Pelosi?

Which Conservatives will stab their fellow Conservatives in the back a la John Roberts in his infamous ObamaCare ruling?

And which liberals will stab Elizabeth Warren in the back, so that they will be ostracized from the Liberal coalition that she has assumed leadership of in Congress?

Of all the corrupt, two-timing, self-serving schm**ks in the U.S. Congress, we will soon know who are the most despicable if the budget passes.

be careful do not bite any congress critter -, you might get same strange malady. but definitely you would get some time in a federal prison. A human bite has a big problem - lots of bacteria - I know my mother whom has Alzheimer’s Disease recently bite my arm when I was aiding her into the shower. On a whole lot of antibiotics because of the bite, and worst of all the doctors have decided to seek nursing home placement.

Are you kidding me!?!? When have they not allied?

The point's not that they are allying. The point's that it's finally now being openly reported in the MSM. Boner must be squirming, particularly after all the grandiose mid-term promises of "stopping Obama."

Oh, Boner & Obama will probably get their way. But Boner is squirming right now. That's at least some satisfaction. And all we're going to get. So at least enjoy that much.

They couldn’t even make it 30 days before they kow-towed to their Wall St. masters. This is why the establishment Repubs are so despised by the extreme left and right and the independents. How inept are the RINO’s that run the party?

They are making the Dems look like the heroes. Supporting Wall St. bankers after the results of the last election is the definition of a party that cannot lead. Even the Dems have figured this out.

Light shining in the darkness. Too late and too cold for the Treasury Secretary Pupppet and Boehner to meet at Congressional, Not For the People, Country Club.

I was thinking the same thing. Most of what is going on is for show. Both side will emphasize the shutdown and make a big thing of a compromise in order to make it look like a breakthrough.

Ask for 50% more than what you want and then settle for 50% less and they still both get what they intended.

It never changes.

It's as my brother says, we have the best politicians money can buy.
