White House Believes G.O.P. Will Bend as Cuts Take Hold

for better or worse and the repukes will get away with it. imho

Break into millions of tiny pieces.

conclusion, they need to be annihilated. It is the only way.

Then the White House should withdraw all compromise offers, and demand unconditional surrender from the Republicans. Punish the GOP by making them eat some humiliation.

They hate you more than they love the country.

They're in gerrymandered districts that are locked in until 2022. They don't have to worry about the government collapsing because they're insulated.

The last election will have the greatest impact, and ask each one passes the effect will lesson as people move, change jobs, come of age, or die.

I am not arguing there will still be an impact, but couple that diminished support with the electorate becoming more and more disgusted with the GOP, the demographic trends, and the downright fracturing of the GOP, and they have real problems.

They've been cheating since 2000. The short-term gains are becoming long-term losses for them.

If they want to hold their seats the one thing they can't do is make a deal with Obama.
The only mandate they have is to oppose Obama.
The consequences, no matter how horrific, don't matter.
Just like Islamic extremists, reality is not to be considered, only ideology.

No matter what, he still believes people are really good inside! (written moments before being captured and sent to Auschwitz, as I recall)

are spoiled. They want what they want when they want it. They do not like being told they have to wait for what they want. In fact, they believe there's a constitutional right to them having whatever it is they want when they want it. Advertising sure tells them that this is the case.

When they have been inconvenienced because of something that they've always taken for granted is either in short supply or slow in coming, that is when you will start seeing the outcry--and the blame will be laid squarely at the feet of the republicans where it should be. They are the ones who came up with this brilliant idea. It's called "digging a hole for someone else to fall in.." However, beware of the hold you dig for others lest you fall into it yourself".

The American people want the rich to be taxed--it's overwhelmingly so. The "American people" taht the GOP talks about are their wealthy 1% donors. Period. The very vocal minority of people who take advantage of all the msm being their personal bullhorns are complicit in their own downfall.

You are going to start seeing the spin by the msm now trying to lay this at the feet of Obama. It is up to the internet and the pressure of progressives and liberals to keep the focus where it rightfully belongs--on the conservathugs.

May I repost?

I'm glad he has finally stopped kicking the can down the road.

Haven't the NYT read the polls?

Plus, he's not up for re-election.
