#1 The Bammer Admin, GOP-Right, + many DemoLefties all know that the crushing US Debt has to come down + be paid off - IMO the issue here is ULTERIOR MOTIVES, espec as per PRE-2015 TRADITIONAL US NATIONALISM + "SOLE" SOVEREIGNTY, VERSUS POST-2015 GLOBALISM + ANTI-US "MULTILATERAL/MULTIMATIONAL" SOVEREIGNTY...

And the like ...

No, ULTERIOR = ALTERIOR = CONTERIOR = ANTERIOR MOTIVES??

D *** NG, I KNEW IT!

lol.

#2 1 - regardless the Party Organ Media will always blame the Republicans. To paraphrase a Donk - what difference does it make.

2 - by the second time around in '95, the public started to shift and Clinton's numbers were dropping (and they were paying attention to those).

3 - if it goes long enough, both parties will see their numbers drop. They're like climbers linked by a rope.

4 - Congress' numbers have been nearly single digit for quite a while. They can't go much lower.

5 - The Pres has cross the 40% and is in decline, this will only accelerate it to his 'koolaid' level of support. Unless he's prepared to openly declare the 'dictatorship of the proletariat', he won't have much to work with particularly as Obamacare will eat the electorate by Nov 14 who'll remember he and he alone stuck them with it.

#3 Couple options:

- Split the CR into pieces. One to fund military. One to fund social security. Etc. The Senate would have to take up each separately and vote it down.

- Don't delay the individual mandate. Permanently change the penalty to $1 per family.

#4 Best option is to separate the military pay from the package, pass it and send it to Reid with the notation that till that's done, no more talking. If he tables it or votes it down, the Trunks can use it as a club as the Donks use racism. What an opening - "Our men and women are on the front lines for our safety and security and the team of Obama and Reid back stab those willing to give the last full measure for 'us'. Their families back home are dependent upon the pay for their basics of food, clothing and shelter and the Desperate Duo would sacrifice them to exercise power and dominion." If there's one thing that probably cause the phones in the Senators offices to melt down, that certain would. Added benefit would be that the military rank and file knows who has their back and its not the ones working towards a one party system.

#6 "Looks like they understood the trap."

Looks like they figured out who has the guns.

#7 So it's official. The Republicans in Congress are the only people on the planet Champ can beat in a negotiation.
