Wow! That’s all I can say ... The angry dog posters at Free Republic would not know victory if someone came up and handed them a million dollars in cash.
It’s vitally important — key to long term success — that we not let the perfect be the enemy of the good.
Too many people here are just plain mean, bitter, angry knuckleheads.
By any objective measure, Boehner was masterful. Not perfect. But perfect was never in the cards.
We take this victory and move on. Tomorrow will bring more success. And the next day. And the next.
Today is a day to be happy.
The 2010 budget was 3.5 trillion. The 2011 budget, which became Boehner's budget because the Democrats never passed one, will now be 3.6 trillion.
That's an increase compared to the stimulus loaded budget of 2010.
That's "good" in your view?
Unbelievable.
Ah but then you miss out on being a part of another such glorious principled action like Picket's Charge. /sarc
We take this victory and move on. Tomorrow will bring more success. And the next day. And the next.
Agreed, you have to keep the long march in mind because we have to bring along the slow-to-catch-up independents. If you use the spurs too hard they buck.
We won....lol
This is like watching wrestling, as the audience cheers on their masked heroes, as they take turns performing rehearsed acrobats for the audience of ignorant believers.
