I find it funny,
well, perhaps not funny, watching the Republicans blast the Democrats
during the ceiling debate. It is strange that the GOP would be blaming
the Democrats for standing on ideology and strangling the negotiation
process; when it is the minority of Tea Party members in the GOP holding
majority party hostage.
Rep. Boehner and the GOP are screaming
for the President to present a plan, which he has; while they have no
intention of passing his plan. It is the Republicans that continue to
walk out of discussions, or fail to return telephone calls to start
discussions. To the current crop of GOP members bipartisanship and
compromise are dirty words.
The bottom line is this; the
Republican philosophy is that if it is bad for the country, it is good
for the Party. Their goal is to win the White House and control of the
Congress, the country and its people be damned.
