Republicans in a nutshell.
Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC) on the stakes in delaying a health care vote past August: "If we're able to stop Obama on this it will be his Waterloo. It will break him."

1. IOW, they're using the Clinton playbook.
Once they stopped Clinton on healthcare, they got everything they wanted, from NAFTA to DOMA.

They think they will do the same thing again.

2. It's all just a politcal game to them.
Not even a pretense of serving the people.

Astonishing.

4. IF Wishes Were Ponies...
Now IF they're able to delay a vote then President Obama will use reconciliation...some victory that will be.

And, of course this asshat thinks he's got a "winner"...holding the line. Let's see how this plays next year when Democrats will be able to show how they've delivered lower cost health care for millions and the GOOP is still using 1980s talking points.
