I’m not happy with the budget deal. But politics is the art of the possible and conservatives who insist on asking for the impossible will only harm our chances of turning Obama into a real lame duck year. When he is drowning, they want to throw him a life vest through another ill-advised government shutdown. Wiser heads saved the GOP from another humiliating rout at the hands of Obama and the Democrats.

N-i-c-e take---I kinda liked it when Boehner got ballsy, for once. Even though he aimed it at conservatives.

That's the Christie MO--his advice to Repubs---how he demolished Dems, he says.

I don't mind taking a bit of a tongue-lashing as long as we keep our eye on “The Prize” rather than on Boehner’s blatherings fueled by old demon rum.

The Prize? That would be totally annihilating liberalism and trampling Democrats in 2014, and beyond.

==============================================

As FReeper sickoflibs wisely said: "I am not taking this back and forth over the budget the least bit seriously. Right now I want to see Dems get a major licking in 2014, and see Obama, Pelosi, Reid, Wasserman-Schultz, and other Dems, humiliated at the polls."

Amen.

RE :” Wiser heads saved the GOP from another humiliating rout at the hands of Obama and the Democrats.”

I am with you on that,

That shutdown act was even a bigger fiasco than I had predicted it would be in comments here in September.

I truly believe the objective was nothing more than a Koolaid drinking loyalty test to see which Republicans are not willing to throw their seats away to Dems at others orders,
It was designed to lose to Obama, and it kept Obamacare OFF the news.

There was no coherent message behind it, it was totally counterproductive and quite embarrassing.
