Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. I feel sick.
Even the Tea Party caucus drank the kool-aid. The dissenting voices have been very muted in their criticism of Boehner, McConnell and the deal. This was another deal where it was “understood” that some members had to vote No to give themselves political cover, knowing that the deal would pass, in exchange for the no votes pulling in their fangs during media interviews. Sickening status quo.
