The main info in this article, Bachmann’s idea of sending the Senate a separate military FY11 funding bill with a one week extension teaser is a very smart idea. Send them one bill at a time with only the things you want to fund starting with the toughest for them to vote against politically. Disarm them and destroy them.
I don't want to see Obama do to Republicans like Clinton did to Newt in 1995. Over at MSNBC they are daily talking about getting Republicans to self destruct as they bait them all on a desire to shutdown
Largely agree. I like Bachmann. I was just saying that if you look back at what actually happnened and not what the media says happened it’s a bit different. Again, if the shutdown was such a killer why did the 1996 exit poll show the Republican Powell beating Clinton 48-36 with 8 for Perot. If the shutdown really hurt the GOP you wouldn’t expect to see that. Why did they gain seats in the Senate and lose only 2 in th House? But I made those points elsewhere.
Again, Newt largely destroyed himself with saying the whole reason was because Clinton sunbbed him on AF1, even Delay mentioned it in his book.
And who cares about MSNBC? They spent all of 2009 and 2010 talking about how the Tea Party was going ot destory the GOP and the GOP had their biggest win since the 30s.
Ultimately, as long as the Dems have the WH and Senate nothing major can really be done. Even if the GOP takes the WH and the Senate in 2012 the dems will still likely have at least 40 in the Senate and be able to stop anything. It’s very frustrating.
