Thank you for the most informative post on this thread. Yuo spelled out the reality on the ground, and it is always smart to get what is possible instead of wishing for the impossible.
Yea hows that pragmatism working so far? We still have the full Obama agenda in full force, dead baby parts everywhere, Obamacare, armed terrorists...all thanks to pragmatic REPUBLICAN voting.
And now Republican voters can share in the responsibility for it all!
HOW WONDERFUL!!! We need more free range idiocy!
AND the conservatives want it in writing before they vote!
Even more fun... if Boehner hangs on and tries to cross them they can still call for the vacate vote.
I understand the “hoo-rah posters” frustration but they’re missing a great story- the real story.
