House, Boehner, Cruz cave in. Democrat Victory is Complete

[Squibbs]

Bets on "we're the bigger men who sacrificed ourselves" card being played.

For sure.

'Had to let the dems get their way or ...(insert anything idiotic)'

For sure.

'Had to let the dems get their way or ...(insert anything idiotic)'

I am truly, dearly hoping for a real change in strategy...

But I've hoped for that before and been deeply disappointed in return.

C'mon guys, catch up.

I'll bet on, "we're the bigger men who sacrificed our careers while being played."

That'd work for those leaving to join the ministry or the lecture circuit or a conservative think tank.

It is too soon to call for a beer, just yet.

House GOP Created New Rule To Prevent Anyone But Eric Cantor From Ending Government Shutdown

And now, a deceitful House GOP has changed the rules of the game — literally –to ensure the shutdown continues until Eric Cantor, the string puppet of a few Tea Party and extremist Republicans, says otherwise.

It ain't over till the Cantor says it's over.

That'd work for those leaving to join the ministry or the lecture circuit or a conservative think tank.

There will be a few on that list, although I don't see a lot of think tank candidates. A gerrymandered district may guarantee a Republic in the seat, but it doesn't guarantee which Republican.

Another great idea. "Let's show on a map how manipulative we are, nobody will figure that out, there isn't even a word for it, I'm sure!"

I think that is cartokinesis.

The Silence of the Usual Suspects is especially satisfying.

No doubt they're waitin' on their talking points from Tard Central.

I suspect they'll be here eventually to declare this a "crushin' defeat for President Obama".

Even Grover is pissed.

Norquist: Defunders Owe Conservatives an Apology

Norquist says. “I think if you make a mistake as big as what they did, you owe your fellow senators and congressmen a big apology — and your constituents, as well, because nothing they did advanced the cause of repealing or dismantling Obamacare.”

Norquist refrained from naming the specific people who he thinks owe apologies to the rest of the conservative movement, but his reference is transparent — during his lengthy floor speech, Senator Ted Cruz said Republicans who supported a CR that would fund Obamacare were comparable to Neville Chamberlain.

Even Grover is pissed.

You left out the best part:

Norquist adds that the defund effort has hurt its proponents’ goals.

“They hurt the conservative movement, they hurt people’s health care, they hurt the country’s economic situation and they hurt the Republican party,” he says. “And a lot of congressmen and senators are not going to win because we spent three months chasing our own tail — or at least, parts of the conservative movement spent three months chasing their own tail.”

He also compared the Defunders’ strategy to that of the Iraq invasion.

“These are the people who said, ‘Plan: Step One, Invade Iraq. Step Two, It turns into Kansas,’” Norquist says. “Could I ask if there’s anything in between Step One and Step Two? ‘Oh ye of little faith.’”

hooray.

Fuck you, 4est_4est_Gump.
Fuck you, Miles.
Fuck you, Vetteman.
Fuck you, Dazzle.
Fuck you, Landslider2000.
Fuck you, Busybody.
Fuck you, Renard Ruse.
Fuck you, Eyer.
Fuck you, JenInFlorida.
Fuck you, JulyBaby04.

You invest way too much emotionally in those guys.

But yeah, step one of weaming the GOP off the manufactured-crisis teat, complete. Will probably take a few more slaps for them to break the hait but it's a step in the right direction.

Yeah, You have to read the cite to get it all. Like dessert.

From the people who brought you the Invasion of Iraq.

Elected by people that only approve of you if you win and sometimes not even then.

I was hoping for a confrontation in a Joint session where Obama would call out the Tea Baggery and march them off to Guantanamo, as Terrorists who wanted to destroy America!

But I like drama.

Doesn't change much. That 17% of the government "shutdown" will be up and running again.

Obamacare is still a failure. People still are not working. More people than ever are on food stamps.

President Stompy-Feet gets to play house in the White House for a few more year. He gets to go on super-fun trips. He gets to play with his new friends that he has seen on TV and in the movies and those he hears on the radio.

The man/child president and play with the other children in the senate and they can maybe have a playdate at the white house playground.

Does not make much difference either way.

RobDumbSouth's life is so empty, he gets an orgasm when he (wrongly) thinks the Democrat party wins some silly political fight.

That's kinda sad, there, Dumbo, but hey its your life.

Cry those bitter tears, Retard.

Murica won today.
You lost.
Fuck you.

You don't see that having an orgasm over a (perceived) political "win" is kind of pathetic? Or maybe you've been drinking again. Interesting.

Not playin' defense tonight, Retard.

I'm celebrating America's victory over you and the Teahadists.

Curb Stomp City.

Wasn't even close, was it?

Feels like election day around here. Or the other election day. Or the SCOTUS ruling day.
