Like they used to say at Burger King . . . . doing anything for political expediency is why we are here in the first place.
There is a fuzzy line sometimes between political expediency and reality. You are not going to get what you want with this Senate and this President. You are not. Not under any circumstance, period, end of story. Let me repeat: what you want, (and what I want) are NOT NOT NOT NOT going to happen until Obama is gone and Reid is out of power. It may not happen then, but it certainly is NOT going to happen before.
Now it’s probably folks like you who sat home and gave us this story…….maybe not you personally, but you get the idea. There are times to plant your flag….like Cruz did…and times to play more subtle strategy. I don’t like or trust Ryan, and I don’t really like this deal, but it’s not awful either. Like Levin said, its Mickey Mouse.
