You know as well I do that a debt bill that reduces spending will die in the Senate.
Again, what is the point of losing? Every one is going to blame the GOP for being reckless with the economy, with people’s jobs and for shutting down the government when in the end it will be forced to cave to the Democrats anyway!
I want to win but I’ll take a pass on this one for the greater good.
The spending issue was not the only issue they could have attached. There is a trade issue and there is the old XL pipeline among others. The point is they do not wish to make a distinction between themselves and the dems. Mark my words, they are relying on winning solely on O care and the dems will find a way to flank them, as usual. Boehner et al are only interested in picking fights with the tea party and like groups. The “moderates” and dems in GOP attire.
