Republicans are deeply, deeply concerned about the budget deficit; they believe that our nation’s future is at stake.
But they’re willing to sacrifice that future, not to mention risk the good faith and credit of the federal government, rather than accept so much as a single penny of tax increases as part of a deal.
…
(T)he GOP never cared about the deficit – not a bit. It has always been nothing but a club with which to beat down opposition to an ideological goal, namely the dissolution of the welfare state. They’re not interested, at all, in a genuine deficit-reduction deal if it does not serve that goal.And everyone who has preached bipartisanship, who has called for a meeting of minds on the subject, is either a fraud or a chump.

just sayin’.
Definitely not a chump. He’s just doing his job as a power-broker. He’s more like the ref than a player.
The American left doesn’t even know what the game is–that’s the sad part.

And a very smart move by those that groomed him, and put him in power it was.
We’re the chumps.
