My recollection is that this sort of conduct used to be described as "Cutting off your nose to spite your face".
Now, I guess it's Cutting Edge political thought, and it probably will only get worse until the whole bloody bunch gets run out of town.
Only question remaining (JMHO) is if we'll be allowed to do this by casting our votes this next year.
...options to that deal really are going to suck.
To your # 89 Pat I couldn’t agree more. But there is that old saying “You can bring a horse to water but you can’t make them drink.” So many are just like this. To acknowledge the truth would break all their beloved fantasies of their political idols.
To Unrepentant VN Viet, ...it probably will only get worse until the whole bloody bunch gets run out of town. Yes. But I also believe many of them think they’ve got the idiots fooled, and will never be run out of town. Sure can’t fool the FReepers, but what are we? 1 percent of 1 percent?
No, the political class believes the gravy train will go on forever, and I believe they’re probably more right then wrong. It will take a severe catastrophe to dislodge them.
