8. I actually did laugh out loud just reading the subject line.

The only plan is for Obama and Democrats to debate with themselves to come to a consensus on something the TeaPubliKlans might say yes to like their last stated position, to then refuse whatever Reich wing tomfoolery that was as a commie plot, then on to exacting concessions a many and pouring the seven seas into whatever weak ass, corporate koolaid that was allowed on the "stakeholders" table, then a healthy dose of obstruction for obstruction's sake to give time for shitty deals to come out or for the contents of the bill to come out, then between ZERO and a passing minimum of votes if whatever is still standing and they don't actually object in spirit, and then move on to beating Democrats over the fucking noggin good for passing more or less their shitty ideas.

Since that has worked pretty good with little opposition from elected Democrats, they have no plan B. Maybe tents won't fold as usual and the cycle is broken but thus far the TeaPubliKlans have been able to get away with shit in one hand and nothing in the other because Democrats accept and work within their bogus frames and have become so desperate to get things done that the what, when, and especially how takes a back seat or even goes under the tires.

Their seems to be some brain lock on the idea of you can't meet in the middle when the poles aren't declared. TeaPubliKlans can't say what they want without opening themselves up for bigger trouble than they have now, not too directly.
Democrats are too busy trying to read the tea leaves and pretending the other fucks are serious that rather than a consensus the best we can on what we are shooting for our dumbasses are actually try to discern some sensible or at least coherent and plausible in the real world policy of their crazy talk and then spend the rest of time trying to get them to say yes to our reckoning of their supposed policy.

When you insist on pretending crazy, dangerous, dishonorable, and delusional are the opposite then you are crazy too. Whatever is going on between your ears, your interaction with the world is irrational.

No, the plan is to bellow and bullshit. A complicit media and an opposition unwilling to oppose makes it as good a plan as any and if we don't fold then they'll do the scream like stuck pigs on their daily domination of the mainstream TV rotation, have their crappy talking head pawns sigh and wheeze about how unreasonable and not very "serious" Democrats are, and crank up the Faux and the hate a notch or two.

AKA

Nothing. We should have save the nation a lot of trouble, treasure, and pain by putting our foot down some time ago. No more human shields for them to hide behind and no more hostages and the charade can start to wrap up.
