Unable to Accept Defeat, Republicans Blame Media for Surrender on Shutdown Deal
Forward Progressives — Unable to Accept Defeat, Republicans Blame Media for Surrender on Shutdown Deal
Before the government was shut down due to right-wing antics in Congress, anyone with half a brain knew they stood absolutely no chance at accomplishing their goal of defunding, defeating or repealing “Obamacare.” This wasn’t some partisan opinion based on left-wing talking points, it was just basic facts conjured from easy to understand reality.
So as news has broken that the Senate has agreed upon a deal which should pass the House, thus reopening our government and raising the debt ceiling, you just had to know Republicans weren’t going to accept the blame from the majority of the American people for the shutdown.
Oh no. It wasn’t their false rhetoric that this shutdown would end up with the defeat of “Obamacare,” or the fact that Boehner refused to let the House vote on the Senate’s clean resolution that would have passed the House and kept the government open. Nope, those aren’t the reasons why they lost and have come out of this whole ordeal looking like a bunch of fools.
It’s the media’s fault. The media is to blame for why the majority of the American people put the blame on the Republican party for this shutdown.
Blame Democrats
Blame Obama
Blame the Media
As always, the Republicans and their fellow Tea Baggers refuse to accept the blame for any problem they cause.
