David Frum demonstrates that he gets it. Political cartoonists get it (Danziger’s was too good to not show).
GOP? Nope. Senator McCain? Nope. Democrats probably do get it but it’s a long way to November and there is plenty of time to let the bully on the block take their lunch money.
The GOP had the opportunity to participate and they did get involved with amendments. But it was all an act since no matter how bipartisan the Obama administration got, the GOP was just wasting time.The Democrats had the votes and the GOP thought they did not have the spine. Now the GOP platform is to hope that the country implode before November.
There are many rational discussions about what’s wrong with the bill. But so far the GOP only panders to the gun totting racist fear mongers. Which is what you do when you care about getting the votes instead of getting the job done.

Well, you hit me via wordpress.org so you’re not a spam bot.
So I’ll bite: What about this post makes you think I’m an idiot? Or why the name calling?
Obviously I disagree with you, but it you want to have a dialog you’ll need to do better than that.
