I am stupid, the majority is stupid so resistance is futile - Michael Cohen: In denial


"Now, granted, if the GOP wants to knock themselves out (literally), who are we, as non-crazy and rational people, to stop them? Knock yourself out, GOP!"
He says this but the rest of the piece denies this.

"How to accomplish that, of course, is the hard part – particularly since Democrats control the Senate and the bill's namesake is sitting in the Oval Office. Indeed, because of this political reality, Republicans have appeared lately to be putting aside their strategy of shutting down the federal government in October unless Obamacare is defunded."

What if the government was shut down, and things don't fall apart. What if Obama misplays his hand and is caught shooting the hostages like last time?

"The incandescent rage from Tea Partiers at yet another bout of failed brinkmanship will not be directed at Obama; it will be directed at their own leaders.

It's already happening. This week, Tennessee Senator Lamar Alexander joined Lindsey Graham and Mitch McConnell in finding himself under assault from a Tea Party primary challenge. Alexander is hardly a moderate (he even penned an op-ed this week defending his conservative bonafides), but in the increasingly radicalized GOP, he's considered something of a Rino (Republican In Name Only). His crime: an apparent willingness to seek "compromise" with Democrats."

This is called representing your constituents. the Dims should try it. Compromise in this case is to capitulate on another unread, unconstitutional bundle of transfer of legislative authority to the federal clerks. This is a hill worth dying for. And who will be hurt most by a shutdown? The dependent. The states are willing to help the deserving poor, others may have a problem. And some dependent states will slide into bankruptcy. And some GOP get along get go along players will have to get a real job.

For those innocents that may be hurt, it is time to move to Texas.
