re: #38 missliberties

Remember when the Prez stood on the stage alone and answered all the R’s questions on health care and totally kicked their asses? They vowed to never go mano a mano with the President in a debate again.

A photo of some tea baggers sitting at the same table as the President ‘discussing’ the budget would be the end of said tea baggers political career. Teh base would hunt them down!!11!!!!

I am just saying, call their bluff. They would rather poke their eyeballs out than negotiate with the President.

Their ‘offer’ to negotiate with the President is just a sham. It takes two and they got nothing, that they know/are aware of.

The “negotiation” business is about playing into the public perception, one which the media is trying to stoke, that this is somehow a difference of opinion that should be ironed out. Every time he’s tried to engage in negotiations, they’ve fallen apart, with the GOP accusing him of “walking away” or “being unreasonable.” By refusing to even sit at the table, he’s got the GOP trying to convince voters that funding the government, something that they’ve spent months refusing to actually negotiate over, is a “compromise” on their part that entitles them to start picking apart the Affordable Care Act.
