Glad you're able to post einstein
however I'm sorry you suffered brain damage you think this was a good deal? 
THIS WAS TOTAL [udder] CATASTROPHE!!
The House can defund anything without permission from the President and the Senate. 100 Senators and the President can't make them fund anything. They already voted for $61 billion in cuts, $0 to Planned Parenthood and they should have crippled Obamacare too. But they had that vote.
Senate swept it under the rug. Reid refused to let it come up for a vote. Didn't vote it down; didn't vote it up.
Obama threatened a veto but since the Senate hadn't passed anything nothing got to his desk.
Let's be clear about that, the House voted to fund the govt. This funding threatened special interests of the Democrat party. So the Democrats acted like a guy who got a paycheck, but won't deposit it, because he wants a raise too. THEY SAT ON THE MONEY.
So then Obama and Reid call on Boehner to dicker. Now you had 242 Republicans who said "suck off, go to hell with your crazy spending" and Obama and Reid reduced that 242 to 1 guy, Boehner, who wanted a deal.
So he caves. We do not get the $100 billion he promised. We don't get the "pro-rated" $61 billion the House voted for. The Speaker treats the House vote like it was a Facebook poll. It never happened, it doesn't matter. We get $39 billion in cuts, and vouchers to DC schoolkids, and Reid promises to hold votes.
But what do Democrats get?
1. They sunder the GOP. 242 Republicans can vote for something, but if Reid shoves it where the sun don't shine, Obama can call on John Boehner and make those 242 Republican votes disappear. This tactic can be repeated on EVERY SINGLE VOTE, so long as Obama and Reid TALK about GOP priorities while violating them.
2. They got the GOP to lie to its voters, and now insult them for not celebrating .
3. They got Republicans to vote for federal $$$ to Planned Parenthood. And that's gonna leavea mark.
4. They got Republicans to vote for Obamacare funding. Ouch.
5. Reid promises votes. Supposing Reid doesnt hold them? Or schedules them and somebody else (SPECTRE No. 2 Chuck Schumer, eg) filibusters? Then what? What benefit is that? That Reid & Schumer hate the Tea Party and are its enemies? They already say so
6. they go into the 2011 budget battle with the Left screaming at the GOP, the Right screaming at the GOP, and the undecideds becoming aware the GOP is hated by all
7. GOP is already saying they can't do better and 2012 will decide whether anything gets done. Way to waste 2 years.
8. They pissed me off and that's so importatnt. In fact go back and make that #1
And all for 3% of discretionary spending, which Obama can get back if he shoves hard enough. In fact the guy is already talking about TAX HIKES. With a GOP Congress he's talking about Tax hikes. A Democrat who gets his ass kicked on Friday doesnt' come back on Wednesday with tax hikes. He must think he won. And so why not mention tax hikes, and make Boehner "buy" them back with more concessions?
And you aren't part of it einstein, but I am goddam tired of the Center-Dumb republicans beating up people who don't see how wonderful it is for the GOP to be so "smart" and defy the "fringe right". Now the independents will see how nice hte GOP is! OF COURSE the GOP wasn't going to do what it said it would! OF COURSE nothing can be done until certain bigots get behind the GOP and give it House, Senate, White House at the same time--although even then, mustnt be too radical!! -- buncha dumbasses. I think I'm gonna register communist and nag them about private property, probably a lot of honest commies....
