The House is about to pass a deal to reopen the government! America wins, and the Tea Party will limp off the field in defeat.

The House is about to pass a deal to reopen the government! America wins, and the Tea Party will limp off the field in defeat.

Ted Cruz just tried to save face by claiming on camera that he had achieved a moral victory, but clearly since moments ago he announced he will do nothing to block the vote, he just got his ass handed to him.

I have to wonder if he is now the lame duck that Sarah Palin believed herself to be when she resigned, and if he will follow suit? Though of course I doubt it.

To be clear, after ALL of this bullshit, once this passes the Republicans will have received NOTHING for their obstructionism. The same CR that the Senate originally wanted the House to pass is the one that will soon pass the House. So EVERYTHING, including police working without pay, monuments being closed to the public, and our reputation being dragged through the mud in front of the entire world, will all be for NOTHING!


But don't think that the Teabaggers will ultimately learn their lesson. They won't.

This from Mediaite:

Heritage Action President Michael Needham told Fox News’ Bill Hemmer on Wednesday morning that any large scale repeal of Obamacare would have to wait until the GOP had recaptured the Senate and the White House three and a half years from now—despite the weeks House Republicans just spent adamantly opposing the law’s implementation.

“‘Even many on the left, including powerful unions, who were once the law’s stronger supporters, have conceded that it’s a train wreck,’” Hemmer quoted from Heritage Action’s letter to GOP lawmakers, which was considered instrumental in torpedoing the House’s tenuous agreement late Tuesday night. “I know you believe that, but with a Democrat in the White House and Harry Reid with the majority in the Senate, what can you do?”

“Everybody understands that we’re not going to be able to repeal this law until 2017,” Needham said. “We have to win the Senate and win the White House.”

So the plan is to retake the Senate, and win the White House, and THEN they will take away health care coverage for millions of Americans.

So after this debacle, how good are their chances of doing that?

Well I'll tell you what. I will do EVERYTHING in my power to make sure that their chances of accomplishing those two things is somewhere between nil and none. And somehow I don't think I am alone in that determination.
