re: #265 Dark_Falcon

I don’t like it either, Obdi, but the fact remains that many Republicans in the House have an intense animus against Barack Obama and reducing his profile in budget negotiations would help keep their anger from clouding the issue.

This is completely foolish on your part. Their animus towards the Democrats in general, and to the population of the US they don’t represent, is almost as great.

But leaving that aside, there one last factor to consider: A key part of this idea is getting budgets into consideration, holding committee meetings, and then passing those budgets in preparation for the conference committee. While that work must be done swiftly, it is normal work for the Congress and bringing in an atmosphere of greater normality might be helpful since it would reduce mental and emotion tensions.

There isn’t going to be normalcy until the gang of Randian idiots are ousted and the rest of the GOP gives up on voodoo economics. This is not something anyone else can solve. This is a problem for people like you, who support the GOP, and you and other GOP supporters have utterly fucking failed to prevent this, and now are utterly fucking failing to do anything to fix it, despite having been warned for literally decades that this would come if you continued to indulge the anti-science and ideological purity of the GOP.
