“Hats off to the president, he won”
“This deal won’t affect the debt situation,” he said. “It will be a political victory for the president.”
If it is a “political victory” for President Obama, Graham indicated House GOP members would fight back over the coming debt ceiling increase: “I hope we’ll have the courage of our convictions when it comes time to raise the debt ceiling to fight for what we believe as Republicans.”

You are the morons that agreed to this fiscal cliff on the promise of Obama working towards legislation that would reduce our deficit and work on fixing our long term debt.
The problem is Republicans thought Obama was working in good faith.
You got played for the fools you are. Obama is evil. And anyone in Congress that doesn’t understand that now needs to be voted out. Obama will not work in good faith towards anything but his own power grab and remaking the United States into his personal Marxist dreamland.

He will end like Bush. These kinds of “victories” will make sure of it…

Meh, he is high on fumes. Who is on the short list to primary him?

“hats off to obama, he won” what a great bumper to primary his butt on.
2014 is just around my fairy headed friend.

Republicans are being played the fool. The “cliff” was negotiated a year ago and spear headed by Obama and the democrats who understood its full implications. They put the plan in place and now with political posturing are passing the ownership to the Republicans who don’t even see the trap.
If it is such a horrible economy destroying plan why did DC put it in place to begin with. Republicans keep playing checkers while dems are playing chess, several moves ahead.

..sorry to post a cheap, blog-whoring link, but someone passed along an analogy and a metaphor that puts in perspective the crapola that these clowns in D. C. are attempting to foist off on us:

Its a political victory for him now (something Boehner tried to avoid, but couldn’t thanks to conservative House members). But if we get down graded again? Won’t be much of a victory and will take blame away from GOP.

Republicans believe in big government, enslaved future generations, compromise with bad, surrender to evil.

SC you can do better than Graham – there is no excuse to keep electing this old queen.
Oh, my! I do declare – that wild ruffian Hussein gives me the vapors! /

So, why didn’t you fight this time? Oh, that’s right, because it’s always next time, always, tired of waiting for GOP’ers to “fight for what they believe in” because they never do, they’re useless.

Exactly.
History will show the GOP to be full of Neville Chamberlains.
