As amazing at it seems, the Republicans may have finally figured out how politics works. House Speaker, John Boehner, pushed for and won the passing of a new debt limit bill with no strings attached.
 
What the speaker has now figured out is that even though his party was absolutely correct in trying to curtail unbridled Democrat spending last time the issue came up, by rightfully shutting the government down, the press took him to task, painting Republicans as self-serving miscreants. 
 
So this time, as Robert Costa of the Washington Post  reports: “Boehner argued that now is not the time to get drawn into weeks of dramatic headlines and fiscal battles with President Obama. “We’re not going to make ourselves the story,” he said. He spoke about the need for the party to not get mired in damaging endeavors.
 
Boehner’s delivery was crisp; his decision was final.”
 
What this means, then, is the only real issue in contention this coming November is the incumbent’s health care tax. And the way that ill-conceived, patch and glued abomination is heading, Republicans should easily wind up winning both houses of Congress.
 
In the meantime, though, another story today exposes the Dem’s for the humongous, hypocritical frauds that they truly are. 
 
Fox News on-line reports that, “Democrats who oppose the Keystone XL pipeline have thousands of dollars invested in direct competitors to the company looking to build the pipeline, public records show.
 
A recent environmental assessment by the State Department was seen as a step toward the pipeline’s approval, but Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., remains opposed to its construction.
 
“In my view, there is now enough evidence to conclude that construction of this pipeline is not in America’s long-term interest,” Kaine said in a statement on the review.”
 
But here’s the real truth of the matter: “The freshman Democrat has between $15,000 and $50,000 invested in Kinder Morgan Energy Partners, according to his most recent financial disclosure. Kinder Morgan is looking to build a pipeline that would directly compete with Keystone.”
 
Which brings me to a conclusion I’ve reached before. Because although I’ve written a lot of fiction in the books I create, I couldn’t make this stuff up regardless of how hard I tried. But the difference between politicos and myself is that the stories in my novels are supposed to be made up.
 
That’s it for today folks.
 
Adios
