I HATE getting played by these people.
Allahpundit over on hotair agrees with Ted. Here is his take:
“this surrender was inevitable and designed to be so once GOP leaders settled on DHS funding as their alleged pressure point in the cromnibus in December. Remember, Boehner and McConnell took office in January determined to show voters that Republicans could be trusted to govern responsibly, i.e. with no more shutdowns or debt-ceiling standoffs. They chose DHSs money as their leverage on amnesty not because they thought it would make Obama blink but because they knew itd be easier to sell an eventual capitulation on that money to conservatives. We cant withhold the funding! they could say. ISIS will overrun Washington!
I hear you! They're getting more and more like 0bama in that they're blatant about it and don't give a whit who knows.
