it was a spectacular self-immolation.n much ventured, nothing gained. they lost ground.

it was a perfect example of what the rupublican party as a whole is doing. they want more voters, wish to regain lost footing, yet continue to blindly stagger down the same trail that has gotten them in their present state.

Might turn out to be the start of a balanced, manageable budget. Doubt it but was worth the try.

No war was won when Rosa Parks boarded the bus either.

To think how far we've come and sunk at the same time. We have an African American for a President, serving a second term, who less than 48 hours after a 16-day battle to get a credit approval, sends $1.6 billion to a country that housed the perpetrator of the largest foreign attack on U.S. soil, killing almost 3 times as many as were killed at Pearl Harbor.
