This makes the euphoria we felt over our decisive win of last November seem childishly naive. There was never any chance that Boehner would have the balls to thwart Obama — or that McConnell even wanted to. Let’s be honest, they are Vichy Republicans. Their loyalty is to their positions and perks, which means their donor class — power they have ceded to the Führer. I am mostly angry with myself for allowing myself to believe — then — that things might actually change.
I was unhappy in November, because these traitors had shown us who owned them a while ago. I posted my tagline then. Believe me, I take no pleasure in being right. I wish like hell I had been wrong. We can’t afford to be fooled by these prostitutes any longer.
