We need to tell Congress when they do something right. Very hard, darn near impossible to stand their ground with Obama’s pimps on both sides of the aisle.
I sent a quote to my kids, don’t have it but it said something to the effect of when’s the last time you told someone they did a crappy job that they got better.
We need to be positive where possible.
Really?
I agree with you in principle but, that isn’t how politics is played.
It seems more likely, that Leadership allowed 50 Tea Party reps to go rogue and defeat this.
This enables them to say to the opposition and the present “Did our best but schucks, we don’t control everyone. We’re gonna need to sit down and figure something out.
Neither of us will get 100% of what we want but, we can come up with some bipartisan agreement”.
These things don’t happen in a vacuum.
Leadership blows kisses, offers valuable seats on committees, support from RSCC, RHCC, GOP, GOP-E, etc.
Maybe boner is using these 50 to get there but, from where I stand and observing his performance over the last few years, I have my doubts about his effectiveness.
