Why do you have your panties in such a twist?
You are arguing ad absurdium about the wording of a metaphor I used to describe Republican timidity; as if, by deconstructing the metaphor, you will somehow defeat the argument I am making.
You ask Joan 50 times for a date. 50 times Joan says no. You then blame Joan.
No, that is not at all what I said. Go back and read it again. I said that if you (meaning anyone) repeatedly gets rejected, then it is not logical to think that the 51st attempt will turn out any differently than the first 50.
Thus, my postulate: The Republicans have never (or very rarely) played hardball in similar situations. Ipso facto, it is not logical to expect them to do it now.
You are free to disagree with that. However, IMO you are betting on it because you want it to happen. I want it to happen, also. I just don't believe it will.
Realism is not defeatism.
