re: #281 engineer dog

you can’t negotiate with people who would be perfectly pleased to shoot the heads off of the babies they are holding hostage

boner said he got 98% of what he wanted in the death ceiling deal, but the wingnuts are still furious

they wanted to shoot the baby

OK. But name one Democrat in the House that stood up to the Tea Party and spoke out and which was covered by the mainstream press? I sure can’t. Barely heard a word out of Nancy Pelosi. She didn’t even start Tweeting — or her office — until the very last days of the negotiating. Who’s running her office?

The only Democrat to state his case wound up being Obama and that was at the last minute. Many have said that he poorly stated his case and ignored the Bush tax cuts [once again]. Instead we heard a few dysfunctional statements from Biden saying something about “terrorism” regarding the budget deal. Barely a word from the Democrats got out to the media otherwise. All eyes were on Boehner, McConnell and Obama. That’s lame. Seriously lame.
