re: #151 Targetpractice

This is fucking hilarious. CBS releases a poll today that is pretty much painful to the GOP in every way, from showing that they’re taking more blame that the administration is for the shutdown, that approval for the shutdown does not at all track to disapproval of the ACA, and that more people think that the GOP should “compromise” than Obama.

But what does Breitbart publish from the poll? 76% say Obama should compromise, which is supposedly a devastating report that has forced the media to “bury” the poll.

This is also where the domestic press has really let the American public down. The Democrats and Obama already compromised, they simply accepted the House Republican budget numbers as is. They didn’t bother fighting at all to restore any of the sequester funding, which they desperately want to do. They know the Tea Party has the Republicans by the balls and this was a major concession to that reality.

In exchange for that major concession the House Republicans decided to act like a terrorists and take the economy hostage, demonstrating why no Republican should ever be trusted ever again. The party needs to die so something sane can take its place.
