It seems to me that most analyses try to figure out what the GOP wants, and comes up with 'crazy or stupid' when It might be more productive to ask what their corporate overlords want.<br /><br />Multinationals may be more concerned with losing billions in health care scams than with whether some particular government shuts down.<br /><br />The congressmen stand to lose less by going against their puppeteers, who not only hold the stick of campaign money but also the carrot of lucrative post-govt employment, than by going against the voters.uzzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02494141255401096538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-38722126522871828122013-10-05T15:25:38.269-04:002013-10-05T15:25:38.269-04:00I vote for the Bugs Bunny Doctrine.

Thank you for using the word "c...Grung_e_Gene,<br />Thank you for using the word "coup."<br /><br />I thought I was the only one. <br /><br />I've been trying to make that point since this shutdown started to look like a reality, a while back - but no one seems to respond to it.<br /><br />When a political party in the majority of only 1/3rd of the power-structure in a representative democracy, and tries to accomplish its goals outside of the Constitutional and legal means that are carefully spelled out, and have been followed for over 2 centuries, what else can you call it, but a "coup!?!?!?Victorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06609452382111686086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-26239582035107566882013-10-05T10:55:57.527-04:002013-10-05T10:55:57.527-04:00The "South"?

Rather, it illustrates the larger point that the GOP in its current incarnation, in throwing this massive tantrum, is refusing to accept the political and demographic changes sweeping them toward oblivion -- they cannot, they just can't bring themselves to admit THEY LOST. To do so is to deny the entire structure of the bizarre reality they've built around themselves for decades. This shutdown is the Confederate flag emblazoned on the pickup truck of their very souls.<br /><br />Hell, to surrender to Obama at this point would be to cut their Truck Nutz off.
