They are simply imploding under the weight of their own obstinacy.
When they won the Senate as well as the House, they were supposed to
work together to produce Republican legislation that Obama would be
forced to veto, definitively exposing the real source of the gridlock.
In fact, they are simply imploding under the weight of their own
obstinacy. They’ve run out of people to blame for not compromising with
them. So now they’re blaming each other.
“The Republicans are like Fido when he finally catches the car,” the Democratic senator Charles Schumer told the New York Times.
“Now they don’t have any clue about what to do. They are realising that
being in the majority is both less fun and more difficult than they
thought.”
If they don’t find a solution by 27 February, then the DHS will be
shut down and Obama won’t have had a thing to do with it. The true
source of the gridlock over the past six years will be clearer than
ever. The emperor will be out there, twerking, in the buff.
“It’s
not an issue of commitment, it’s a matter of math,” said the Republican
senator John McCain – perhaps failing to realise that math, like
science, is no competition for blind faith and bad politics.
