It must truly be a compromise.
Our side is pissed. Their side is pissed. No one's happy. Isn't that what compromise is all about? :hurts:

1. The GOP side is shedding crocodile's tears. They are gonna pop champagne tonight.

At least the *real* GOP/corporatist players will.

Those pitiful uninformed teabaggers are useful idiots.

2. Yes, exactly.

Eliot Engel just said he'll vote NO. (MSNBC)
Engel estimates over 100 Dems will vote NO.

3. Their side is not as pissed as you want to believe.
Edited on Fri Apr-08-11 11:09 PM by Hissyspit
They controlled the debate and imposed the agenda.

@MSignorile: It all went exactly according to GOP plan: Demand super super extreme agenda, then settle for merely super extreme agenda

6. No they aren't
they scored a win, and our side is trying to pretend like it's a compromise. Fuck our side. If you want to lie in a ditch and pretend it's a honeymoon suite, that's your business, but I won't. I don't have to promote Republicans, because Democrats have given up and don't even know what a spine is. You blame ME, your constituents?

Fuck you, and the donkey you couldn't even find because you were too busy watering the elephants.

4. Yes. I just don't happen to be in the mood to compromise.
Yeah, the teabags blinked. I find that wholly insufficient for the stress I have endured. I want their hair to turn white overnight and be resistant to color. I want their facelifts to fall.

5. Fucked again.
I officially don't give a shit anymore.

You "compromise is everything" guys have won, and have handed the country to the reds. I literally don't give a fuck if they destroy the country, because compromising democrats apparently DO NOT CARE either.

7. "If the specifics are confirmed, I’ll call upon Speaker Boehner to resign his post."
Boehner was in a corner.

This deal does nothing for him and the nuts are unhappy.

"If the specifics are confirmed, I’ll call upon Speaker Boehner to resign his post."

9. It does appear to be a major LOSE LOSE WIN
The Freepers and asshats at inSannity.com are pissed, the Dems are pissed, the elite got what they wanted without giving up one fucking thing in the last decade.

Again, this is not sustainable.

11. Interesting that the next deadline is April 15...
Luckily, we can rely on our rational and sober political opponents not to exploit that fact by giving us another attention grabbing squeaker.

Now where did I put that sarcasm tag?
