But retired widows raising their grandchildren and adults trying to learn to read and people in need of HIV tests and even, for all the lip service Republicans give the military, unemployed veterans are not high enough on the congressional priority list either to get the special treatment business travelers got or to drive it home that the sequester needs to be repealed wholesale rather than chipped away at where it’s making powerful people uncomfortable.
Yes, very tragic. But who will the retired widows, the unemployed veterans, and the grandchildren put in Congress and Senate in 2014? Yeah, exactly. So all of this outrage is like peeing against the wind.
Still, it’s somewhat of an improvement on the “She lied about Benghazi” slogan.
This country is so full of talent and creativity, yet political campaigns always get run by the most stupid idiots one can imagine. Do you have any guesses as to why that happens? Any half-assed ad agency would do a better job selling their candidates than what we have been seeing in big politics.
