To the contrary, I believe the Democrat "mainstream" newsrooms will sneeringly congratulate the Republicans for "finally doing the right thing", and then promptly proceed to the next phase of their agenda wherein they chide the Republicans for demanding spending cuts that are akin to pushing granny off a cliff.
See, it's lose-lose for the Republicans. They get blamed for higher taxes AND pushing granny off a cliff. Caving to Ubanga at this point would gain the Republicans not one single vote. On the other hand, caving to Ubanga would turn off so many conservatives in the party base that it would kill the GOP. No joke. Dead as a doornail.
If the Republicans don't simply step back and let Ubanga take America over the cliff they are freaking morons.
Unfortunately, I fear that Boehner and company are freaking morons.
That's the way I see it.
Regarding Ann, looks like she needs another spanking, send her to me.
