is absolutely stupid however you look at it. however he is raising his profile. knowing it is not going anywhere in the senate. not going to succeed in a film buster. the senate will reject any bill that defund obamacare. he will say we tried. he led the fight. and you know, good for me so maybe me gains in that respect. governor dean, when i watch freshman senators, or freshman members of the house saying things that are absolutely ridiculous. i pretty much always put it down to ignorance. they just don t know enough yet. this one is really strange. the interesting part, the people who will suffer from this, the american people who will be short on checks and services, the 180 people in the
freshman senators, or freshman members of the house saying things that are absolutely ridiculous. i pretty much always put it down to ignorance. they just don t know enough yet. this one is really strange. the interesting part, the people who will suffer from this, the am scan peoperican pe will be short on checks and services, the 180 people in the republican caucus in the house who aren t crazy. because they re going to have to eventually make a deal. either the government is going to shut down which i, in which case i believe the democrats arguing take over the house in 2014. or boehner is going to have to back off and make a deal with nancy mroespelosi. what boehner is making the caucus do, for the people he has no control over. walk the plank, and if anything is even close to a swing
