Dear GOP, Don't cave now on budget cuts! Yes, John Boehner, I'm talking to you!

John Boehner and the GOP caucus are once again poised to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. They promised us $100 billion in cuts. They promised to defund NPR, PBS, Planned Parenthood, and ObamaCare.

The time is right. The Dems are on the ropes and waving the white flag.

Partisan windbag Chuck Schumer revealed the bankruptcy of their battle plan. Why isn't that sound bite circulating endlessly in attack ads? He's a puppet on a string, and on the other end of that string in George Soros. Surely there is someone at RNC headquarters who can milk that meme for all it's worth?

President Obama's approval rating is lower than that of the average used car salesman.

Harry Reid is whinging about losing the money for a Cowboy Poetry Festival. Because that's what he considers to be a vital national interest.

And instead of going for the jugular, the GOP is negotiating with these clowns? They're actually talking compromise on budget cuts?

What the fuck is wrong with you morons?

We elected you to slash and burn. So get with the program.

And no, I don't particularly care if you shut down the government. I'm pretty sure we can get by for a couple of weeks without any new regulations or intrusions into our privacy or vague promises of help from bumbling bureaucrats.

If you're smart (and from where I'm sitting that's a pretty big "if") you'll gin up some kind of continuing resolution thingy which'll keep the Social Security and Unemployment checks coming while freezing everything else. Take a page out of Scott Walker's playbook and stop all congressional and executive branch paychecks until an acceptable budget is in place. And let the government shut down!

You just might find that 90% of whatever it is the government does really won't be missed by most of us out here in the hinterlands.

And yes I realize that fact scares the living shit out of you.

Good.
