Dick Morris: GOP Will Shut Down The Government Again

[ubiquitous_a]

Morris said the party must elect lawmakers who will stand up and say "No" to President Obama's requests for more government spending and predicted a repeat of how Republicans forced a shutdown under

NGL, that Daily Show reference was the first thing that popped into my head.

I love the "but this time we'll win! Totally not like that last time."

Considering how eager the current Democrats have been to compromise and compromise to a group of people who refuse to give an inch I'd say that prediction is a reasonable one.

"There's going to be a government shutdown, just like in '95 and '96 but we're going to win it this time

America does seem to be a little more feral these days.

Uh - huh. Goverment shut - downs are EXACTLY what Americans want to hear with 10% unemployment and the feeling that things are not going to get better, but worse hanging over them. Good job, Mr. Morris. The GOP will be so proud of you for saying that.

The sad thing is, they probably will. I have not seen much evidence of an understanding of cause and effect among the GOP lately.

Goddammit, country.

Gagging in a corner....
