Peggy Noonan: Republicans made mistake in picking fight

It sounds like Noonan and Krugman had a good debate this morning. RE: the Republican non-strategy.

Peggy Noonan: Republicans made mistake in picking fight

The government shutdown was the main issue on the Sunday morning programs.

The shutdown has become a blame game, but Peggy Noonan, conservative columnist for The Wall Street Journal, was spreading the blame Sunday morning on ABC's "This Week With George Stephanopoulos."

"Republicans made a mistake," she said. "They picked a fight. They had no strategy, they had no endgame, they had no plan. That's what it is, it was a mistake."

Noonan added that President Barack Obama "made countermistakes" in communicating that he was not having a conversation or negotiations on the issue.

7. Really?

That Obama made mistakes to?

[gopiscrap]

9. No I agree with her that the Republicans fucked up

the only mistake Obama made was that the day he was inaugurated he should have told the repukes to fuck themselves and leave the country....and now he should have told the repukes that if they don't open up the gov't he'll declare martial law and have them arrested for sedition.

13. She's wrong.

They picked the fight they wanted and used the strategy they wanted. What they were wrong about is that the American people aren't as Teabagger as the Republican Party. Her error is in her refusal to recognize that Reagan's melding of the Moral Majority with Nixon's bitter racist faction has succeeded. Time for Noonan to engage in a little introspection. This isn't a PR problem.
