Rude Pundit sums up entire budget debate with one analogy
This was from a post of his a a few days back and I cant think of a better way to explain what just happened last night and the reaction from the democrats.


"A decent comparison would be to imagine that you have grown a beautiful apple tree, but your neighbor wants it down so he can see the factory on the hill better. You say that you can trim the branches. He offers to cut down the tree, burn down your home, and kick you in the nuts. If you're a Democrat, you figure if you can convince your neighbor not to kick you in the nuts, it's a victory. If you're a Republican, you say, "No, I'm still gonna kick you in the nuts." If you're Barack Obama, you offer your ass instead."

4. Heartbreakingly, nauseatingly accurate.
IT seems this administration starts "negotiations" by giving the repukes everything they want right up front, and then works backwards from there.
