Sure, but what would you or I do? Even if we assume that the greater number of the Pubbies are not crazy, how many is that? Maybe if they had a recognized leader, somebody with the authority to say hold it, stop, no further. Supposed to be Boner, but we know it isn’t.
If they go ahead and fuck things up, it will be a disaster. If they just intend to go right to the line bluffing, and then somebody fucks up, its just as much a disaster. Who’s the guy who gets to say “OK, that’s all we can get, time to stand down the nuclear missiles…” Its not only that somebody might not get the memo, there’s nobody with the authority to send the damn memo!
So, the Dems hang tough, the Pubbies burn the place down, and we can be comforted because the smoldering wreckage will be in responsible hands a year or two down the road?
If a Dem were to say “We had to give in, no choice, and hope to fix things later” how do I say he’s wrong? Remember, they designed the sequester to be so terrible, it couldn’t happen. And here we are. In the old days, we could at least rely on the money Pubbies to yank the chain, back when they were in charge. Now, there’s nobody in charge, and no chain to yank.
In the wake of the IRS scandal, Marco Rubio has, reasonably, called for the resignation of the IRS commissioner.If only there was an IRS commissioner. The last one (a Bush appointee) resigned last November.
So Bush was actually doing the Right thing by not going after OBL thereby endearing the US to Moslems throughout the world. He’s smarter than I thought.
A few of them have to be. I mean, for example, that asshat who full out admitted that the only reason republican senators/congressmen voted against the universal background checks, even when over 90% of Americans support them, was because Obama wanted it and they didn’t want to hand him a “win”, at least he’s in on the joke, right? RIGHT?
Yeah I got that he was ticked. But if he’s actually got the balls to call out his fellow Republicans for doing the same exact shit he himself and they all have been doing since day 1 of Obama’s presidency, surely he must be aware of what a parody the Republicans have become.
The point of winning the election is to do something for the people and then get the hell out of that stinking town.
Instead it’s a team sport and they fight every two years for Super Bowl rings. This isn’t politics, it’s a damned football match that never ends and is not the slightest bit entertaining or fun.
