The day of wreckoning (yes, sic) grows near

[sonofabish]

So we get closer to election day and we will see which way the country turns. It's interesting to watch the GOPers and Tea Baggers whinging about deadlock and how Obama can't do anything when these fuckers block everything he tries to do

Hey, whenever I go off on a bitter political rant, you never give ME a hug! ;-)

Sorry

No love for you. :(

Don't worry; they can try to overturn Obama's health care plan all they want, but he's still the President, he's got the veto.

And I can't wait. I really can't. Either some grownups will take control (which is not outside the realm of possibility) and we'll see reasonable compromise...or they'll stick to this Groundhog Day track they've been on, try to shut down the government, and get clowned.

Taking the pessimistic view that the GOP prevails, we would see them passing all sorts of measures, Obama would veto him, and we'd hear the GOP whinging about how the majority is having its will thwarted by the minority and the followers of Beck/Limbaugh/Hannity nodding their heads like this is something brand new

Sure, they'll whine, but it won't sell. They tried that during the Clinton administration, and it ended horribly for them. Obama's also already fired a few warning shots across the bow.

Besides, most projections show them having, at best, a twenty seat advantage in the House and not winning the Senate. That means all they really have to do is keep alienating their moderates and soon the elected leadership will have a real leadership to deal with.
