(31,706 posts)Someone forgot to tell these douchenozzles this is 2012, not 2010 and the political pendulum is swinging further and further away from them. The obstructionist game cost them the chance to take the Senate and their radical agenda scares the shit out of anyone who isn't white and elderly. The message will need to be delivered again in 2014 and again in 2016...and I'm still not certain these asshats would finally figure out how out of step they are with a majority of voting Americans.
Boner is their best hope here...if we go "off the cliff" the hit will be hardest on the rushpublicans (why I don't mind seeing it happen)...taxes raised on the rich and spending cuts to their beloved defense contractors and other corporate welfare recipiants. So here's the deal...be stubborn and walk off the cliff or work something now and spend the next two years making people forget about it. They're sure not gonna get a better deal with Louis Gommert doing the negotiating.
