Or, as we who eschew the Orwellian use of language like to call them, tax increases.  Again.

But this is all part of a grand bargain that, ultimately, Hugh Hewitt and a few other GOP cheerleaders will herald as a genius stroke by the very underrated and underappreciated pair of Mitch McConnell, who has helped steer the GOP away from becoming a regional party by pushing Democrat policy, and John Boehner, whose orange, tear-streaked strategy to meld with the Democrat party is unfairly attacked by the usual fringe Hobbits who simply don’t understand how DC works.

Despicable true believers, these ingrates are.  Idealists who, unhelpfully, refuse to get their asses in line.  Unlike the sage realists and political pragmatists who have given us control over the House, which we’ve put to excellent use fooling Americans into believing Republicans are no different than their more popular Democrat peers — and all it took to pull off that minor miracle was a clever strategy of governing like Democrats and pushing a Democrat agenda.

Inspired genius, if you ask me.

Pretty soon, we’ll control everything!  And for the Democrats to wrest it away from us, they’ll have to move even further left and make even more promises and really step up their crony corporatist and pander games.

And I just don’t think they have it in them.

Score one for Team R!
