Republicans Call a Punt!

[MineralMan]

Tension was high. Fourth down and short yardage and the Goopers took a time out. The fans in the stands were on the edge of their seats. With the game tied, and the half almost over, would the Goopers go for it? What would happen.

Time out ends and the Goopers take to the field. Wait! It's the punting team. They're going to turn the ball over. PUNT!

Note: For those who have had their heads tucked under their wings, McConnell has proposed letting Obama raise the debt ceiling on his own for the rest of the term.

1. Time to sack the kicker nt

3. Yabbut, that would be roughing the kicker and result in a

first down after the penalty. Better would be a touchdown on the punt return. The defense is demoralized and weak.

9. I'd still sack the kicker, just to see the expression in his face :)

10. The SOB would probably enjoy it...n/t

2. Yes! Rather than trying to change the America as we've known it for the last 80 years while

there's an economic gun pointed to our heads for the next two weeks...raise the debt ceiling any way possible then have a series of good, thorough policy discussions about priorities and budgets. That sounds like a much healthier process than finger pointing, panic, hostage-taking, rushed cuts to the bone, etc.

I'm for it.

4. Update: not for it. read some other analysis and there are strings attached. nt

7. Doesn't matter. This exact plan won't ever happen.

The point is that the Republicans are out of plays. All the quarterbacks are out with brain injuries. It's a desperation move.

6. I'll cheer for that!

8. Rec. because I like the idea.

I'll need to see more of this "kind hearted" proposal by dear Mitch. My guess is they are getting nervous as hell about public opinion. In my state, NH, both newly elected Republican House members now have higher unfavorable than favorable ratings.

11. Betchya Cantor will botch the snap to McConnell

It's over his head -- it's a loose ball -- it's a SAFETY for the Dems!

12. Even better than that Field Goal attempt
