Re: Timing is Everything, peabrains.

Ladies and Gentlemen of the House and Senate GOP caucuses:

I’m glad to see that you, plural, are finally drawing the line and doing the right thing on spending:

I’ve received word that the Senate passed our current budget monstrosity 55-43. No Republican defections: we picked up Bayh and Nelson of Florida. Earlier, the House version passed 233/196 with no Republicans voting for it, 20 Democrats voting against it, with supposed fiscal conservatives (and European junketeers) Charlie Melancon (LA-03) and Bart Gordon (TN-06) singled out for special ridicule as being part of the group of Blue Dogs that signed off on a 3.6 trillion dollar budget. In short, the GOP Held The Line again.

Kudos.  I’m glad.

Now, if you’d managed a bit for of this sort of thing over the past eight years, you might just be in the majority today.

Winston Churchill said in the wake of Dunkirk “wars aren’t won by evacutations”.  Likewise, countries aren’t saved by rearguard actions.

Do try to keep this in mind.

That is all.
