Re; "kicking the can down the road"--Will repubs really try this shit again?

[panader0]

I can't believe they'd go there again after this debacle. It would only lower their already poor chances in '14.

[Uncle Joe]

1. I highly doubt it, at least not in 2014.

Thanks for the thread, panader.

2. GOP always finds new and different ways to execute their schemes

Americans have notoriously short attention spans. It's likely there will be a few "crises" between now and then to throw most off the scent.

3. There'll be something, count on it.

The only way to get rid of this is to get rid of them.

[Skittles]

4. yes they will - they are very, VERY stupid and do NOT learn

the difference is more and more people see through their garbage

5. They went there this time. Yes, they'll find a hostage of some sort for January. n/t

[Pale Blue Dot]

6. If they didn't want to try again, they would have allowed extensions past the 2014 elections.

There's an absurdly powerful group of right-wingers who believe this is a winning issue for them. Look at Cruz's statements today.

This will happen again in January. Bank on it.

7. Why shouldn't they try it again? They have never suffered any REAL consequences for their schemes.

Joe Wilson calls Obama a liar to his face. Raises $2 million dollars the next day. gets re-elected.

Gloria Boerger said on CNN "The President should be magnanimous. He should tell them (the G.O.P.)-You fought the good fight.. But I don't think it's in his character." I'm ready to hurl.

8. Ground hog day

look on the bright side, at least it is closer to February.

[riderinthestorm]

9. Yes. The zealots are driving the show and they think they "won" nt

[alcibiades_mystery]

10. That's why the argument fails: to run this program again would crash their whole party

Now, there will be concessions in the budget talks. That's where we need to apply pressure. But worrying about a repeat of this episode in February is just stupidity for people looking for a way for this to be a loss.

[sad-cafe]

11. yes they will do it again

and again and again

voting 42 times to repeal a law that is good for America?

[MiniMe]

12. Is the Pope catholic? Does a bear sh*t in the woods?
