Mirengoff has the rundown:
Let’s step back and consider the impact of
McConnell’s deals on the valiant effort of House Republicans in 2011 to
use the debt-ceiling to attack the debt. So far, the results are as
follows: (1) the debt ceiling was raised, (2) the debt continued to
soar, (3) the latest McConnell-brokered deal will increase, rather than
decrease, the debt, and (4) taxes are about to go up.
There are extenuating circumstances, to be sure —
most notably the 2012 election. But they are insufficient to explain
how the Democrats have thus far been able to turn the debt-ceiling
battle of 2011 so decisively to their advantage.
It’s a tribute to McConnell’s skill that John Boehner seems to be taking most of the heat over the latest deal.
Well--that last point is true, but then Boehner doesn't know "conservative" from zits, either.
DeMint and Erickson are right. McConnell and his ilk is the fifth column in this country.
