re: #125 Targetpractice, Worst of Both Worlds

I don’t get what difference making them take a vote on this would actually have. It’s clearly them that’s responsible for this; they denied the president the address of congress. I don’t think anyone would be confused about it.

Of all the battles to fight, why on earth this one?

I think, in retrospect, the GOP was actually ready to let the government default. I think we dodged a bullet.

As much as you or I might want a firebrand-wielding Obama to scream obscenities at the GOP, I’ve gotta wonder what good it would actually do.

To me, the GOP is a lot more like a bully who wants to get the prize pupil to actually fight, so that he can get him in trouble too.
