Obama is no 'lame duck', in the immediate organizational sense, but the senate is. This bucket O' Shit thrown their way ought to keep them 'out of trouble' until' the music stops. I am assuming, and I think that there are some grownups in the Republican caucus over there who know how to swing this bag 'o crap around to good effect for months to come, if need be.

Elizabeth Warren? please...

Why is John Boehner so intent on destroying the Republican party?

If the Cromnibus bill fails to pass and the government shuts down, the Democrats and the MSM will blame the Republicans.

But if the bill does pass, with its flagrantly pro-Wall Street provisions, the Democrats will blame the Republicans for the much worse sin of supporting Wall Street against the people. And we’ll never hear the end of it.

So why is John Boehner, a leader of the Republicans, doing everything possible to get the bill passed? Does he want the Republican party to be confirmed as the party of the wealthy, while the Democrats get to portray themselves as the party of the people? Could anything help the Democrats more and put the Republicans in a worse position?

John Boehner must be repudiated, deposed, overthrown. The Republicans can’t survive him.

When the new members come in, they should demand a vote for a new Speaker!

Pfft! At this point, pretty much all of us Gen Yers realize we’re already doomed.

Who cares at this point? 1 trillion, 10 trillion, you can’t double collapse the system.

DeFazio said. "But if I was a Democrat serving the United States Congress..."

Typical politician - forgets that he is serving the CITIZENS of his district.

Because they are a group of stupid bastards in hock to Wall Street and the Chamber of Commerce. There simply is no reason to vote any more. Nothing ever changes.

“Why is John Boehner so intent on destroying the Republican party?”

Because he is and always has been a liberal.

Rand Paul On Shutdown: "Even Though It Appeared I Was Participating In It, It Was A Dumb Idea"
I said throughout the whole battle that shutting down the government was a dumb idea. Even though it did appear as if I was participating in it, I said it was a dumb idea. And the reason I voted for it, though, is that it's a conundrum. Here's the conundrum. We have a $17 trillion debt and people at home tell me you can't give the president a blank check. We just can't keep raising the debt ceiling without conditions. So unconditionally raising the debt ceiling, nobody at home wants me to vote for that and I can't vote for that. But the conundrum is if I don't we do approach these deadlines. So there is an impasse. In 2011, though, we had this impasse and the president did negotiate. We got the sequester. If we were to extend the sequester from discretionary spending to all the entitlements we would actually fix our problem within a few years.
