Dark, really. Own what the Republicans are doing, or at least stop downdinging Lizards for pointing out the truth.

re: #8 Lidane

Sorry, DF, but this is all on your party. It’s their government shutdown, and their potential default if Cantor and Boehner can’t convince the idiots to defuse the bomb they’ve got strapped to their chests.

This is entirely a manufactured Republican crisis. Deal with it.

re: #9 goddamnedfrank

Tell me again about how all politics is local D_F. That shit is hilarious.

If Dark actually addresses this topic or any of our posts on the matter directly without tap dancing around the sore points, I’ll be pleasantly surprised. He’s just in too deep with GOP identity politics to really get his head around how much today’s TPGOP has turned out to be more like the Jacobins or the Bolsheviks than Abraham Lincoln or Ike.
