The new Reid-McConnell plan is one of the worst solutions yet. It's a booby trap.

Harry Reid's willingness to give away the farm never ceases to amaze me. :(

1. So we had them....

They had pretty much given up and were going to give us the farm, and instead we (and by "we" I mean Reid) said "No, no no.....wait instead how about we give YOU the farm?!?!?!". I mean pathetic.

2. What's the new plan?

Is it this thing: http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/07/12/mcconnell-proposal-gives-obama-power-to-increase-debt-limit/?scp=1&sq=mcconnell&st=cse

3. Snatching Defeat from the jaws of Victory

...a Dem specialty.

4. I'd love to hear from the unreccers as to WHY this is not a trap...

...and WHY they think Reid isn't giving in to the GOP, just so their feelings don't get hurt. I mean, seriously, can anyone, anyone, point to an incident wherein the GOP leadership gave away their wish list just so Democrats could "save face?" Bueller...Bueller...

5. I would love to heat that too.

6. All analyses show this plan is a doozy for Dems. Why do Dems support this?

7. I'm thinking our major Dems were hand-picked by rethugs

including Reid. Aside from the subject at hand, could we have picked anyone with a more stereotyped, wimpish image?

8. It's not his fucking farm so he doesn't give

a fuck.

9. Obama should demand a clean

one sentence bill to increase the debt. PERIOD full stop.
