Why, O why, O why, O why do FReepers, who never believe anything else printed in the New York Times suck up this preposterous agitprop as if it were gospel?

Why?

Read the article. The stunning claims in this piece are not sourced at all. The very vague generalities in this piece about reconciliation that have a name (Peter King) attached to them are typical post election boilerplate, and the quotes that take any serious position come from conservatives which completely contradict the thesis of the headline. They say they are NOT going to support a cave-in, and feel they have a mandate of their own.

For what should have been the last time twenty years ago: ANYTHING printed in The New York Times is pure crap that is only ever accidentally true, if even then.

Jeez, stop with the hand-wringing.

Fred, you are exactly right, this is NY Times wishful thinking more than anything...

here is blog from a democrat who advises corporate clients on what is happening in DC. he realizes that the debt ceiling comes before the vote for speaker, and that Boehner cannot cave if he wants to remain speaker

after the shock of the election, i think it’s good for conservatives who were isolated in the “conservative bubble” to get out a bit and read some other sources. but crap from the NYT is not the place to start

How about straight from his lips, is that a good enough source?
