The Senate Bill was completely dead in the water before the House, and Scott Brown had just won an historic race in Massachusetts. Those two factors were a gift from the gods beyond the republicans dreams. Obama and Pelosi were talking about backing off and going at it piecemeal in the areas where they could find consensus.
But no, let's go over and talk with Obama and see where he needs help in passing the bill. We have already made a huge, huge sale so why dont we call the client up again and see how they feel about it while we are still in the free-look period. Flaming, flaming, frigging idiots.
We can talk about this being a victory for the repubs in November but there is no indication that they are smart enough and strategic enough to work with any factors in their favor. Counting on the public to be outraged over reconciliation? Don't. That is all inside the beltway baseball now.
The reality is that this is that this is an enormous victory for Obama and Pelosi and whatever bets I had on the table I took off the table the minute they decided to go over and walk into the lobster trap. That was an act of stupidity that you can all clearly see that I am still unable to process. Just completely stupid beyond comprehension which bespeaks the possibility of their being too stupid to work the November scenario with any intelligence or plan. Their entire plan for the summer and the fall consisted of watching Olympia Snowe. And then when they got lucky anyway they immediately moved to frig it up.
Pelosi won this one and outgunned and outmaneuvered and outsmarted the Republicans. The bill was dead, and Scoitt Brown had just won and the entire tide had turned- but she simply ignored it and plowed through it. Yes, she is a reprehensible bitch but we must man up to this situation. The repubicans have been about as strategic as a russet potato through all of this.
Do I blame the republicans for the tide of socialism and the fact that they had to work with overwhelming majorities in both houses? No. But do I think they are smart enough or strategic enough to take advantage of anything that might work in their favor or to put together a viable alternative. No. They are too frigging stupid.
