Excellent!
My beef with the meme, “...it’s no secret. The rules have been public for all to see.”
Yes, they’re public; but good old salt of the earth, meat and potatoes folks, who TRUST their party aparatchiks, never dreamed they were this devious and underhanded.
There’s rules and there’s rules.
It was ‘within the rules’ for Ryan to pass the spending bill using democrat votes, and for Boehner to do the same.
They played ‘by the rules’.
But that doesn’t mean they didn’t betray their constituents with their shenanigans.
