Nope. The House controls.
But, Krauthammer always supports Obama and the DNC
rather than America, the GOP, or conservatives.
Makes himself a honeypot for the MSM.
" ... is not just counter-constitutional in spirit but self-destructive in practice."
I completely disagree with chuck saying "counter-constitutional" as well. That is totally false. I also am well aware of his previous nonconservative positions on a host of issues. However, I'm merely considering the political strategy suggested in the article and whether we may be "self-destructive" here. Given the impact of a technical 'default' on the economy and how 0bama and his sycophantic media will use it to negatively taint GOP candidates for all offices in 2012, I'm persuaded that an 'all-or-nothing' strategy in this small battle of the much larger war, isn't worth the harm to our cause. We need to be as strong as possible for the 2012 war.
You give the general electorate of this country way too much credit. Unfortunately, they aren't very smart since most were educated in government schools.
