What silliness. The congress has been doing what they’re supposed to do: advance the causes of their own constituents. In this one area, those causes have merged, so they will vote as one. But that doesn’t bring us any closer on abortion, gay marriage, or any number of other areas, so the congress will continue to vote for their constituents – as they have been.
Turkey has 49 people held hostage by “ISIL”, other countries as well have people held, many over a year, yet intelligence agencies from these countries, including U.S. and G. B., haven’t been able to rescue or return them. It is for this reason, not Obama, that countries are slow to show obvious support for taking ISIL down. They’re intimidated just like the U.S. by what might happen to a handful of people, without considering the thousands killed when W over-reacted in Iraq to get even for a threat against his father, and screwed up everything.
Everyone not in the Republican party “denounces” the tea party because they represent former John Birchers and wing nuts, and try to send those to Washington to mis-represent the voters.
Is it accidental that they’re dressed like Gitmo prisoners? It appears that their time in captivity has also led to a strange passivity and compliance, or is it the drugs?

The repubs will still act to gain political leverage. The rest of us can go to hell.

America has not won a war since 1945.
ISIS will take over the middle east with less than two divisions of ill-trained terrorists. However, Obama will still denounce the TEA party.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend. That has been true in politics forever.
