The Gadfly has been carefully analyzing the argumentative structure of the ACA debate that currently has shut down the U.S. government, costing taxpayers $300 million per day, and which is careening toward an even costlier and disastrous outcome - the U.S. defaulting on it's national debt.
Here is the condensed version, to the best ability that The Gadfly could decipher, as to how this debate has evolved to date:
GOP Teahadists: We would like to shoot you with our AR-15 assault rifle.
Obama Admin: No thanks.
GOP Teahadists: Ok. How about if we only shoot you in your kneecaps?
Obama Admin: Nope.
GOP Teahadists: Fleshy part of the thigh?
Obama Admin: Absolutely not.
GOP Teahadists: Well, would you entertain the idea of us using a .357 Magnum handgun instead of the AR-15?
Obama Admin: Go pound sand.
GOP Teahadists: WAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH! Obama is being mean to us and won't negotiate with us! WAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!
Sigh . . . it is what it is folks, and if John Boehner truly believes that his beloved political party is going to survive a U.S. debt default intact and still be a viable force in American politics, he is just as delusional as Ted Cruz and his merry band of tea soaked pirates are, and that translates to -- we're all fucked.
