They should be able to get quite a lot done on appointments in 2014 so they are then ready to pass legislation if the House flips in the next election. </p> </div></div></div> Sun, 24 Nov 2013 05:16:40 +0000 trkingmomoe comment 186718 at http://dagblog.com If you use a device too much http://dagblog.com/comment/186712#comment-186712 <a id="comment-186712"></a> <p><em>In reply to <a href="http://dagblog.com/reader-blogs/pigs-get-fat-and-hogs-get-slaughtered-17826">Pigs get fat and hogs get slaughtered</a></em></p> <div class="field field-name-comment-body field-type-text-long field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p>If you use a device too much beyond its designed capacity, it will break down.</p> <p>The Republicans look smart in their control of message as a party but not so smart when they use something they will need later until it is broken.</p> <p>Where is the spreadsheet that explains how they spread their risk?</p> <p>If they are the masters of their own fate, they are doing a good job of not looking like it.</p> </div></div></div> Sun, 24 Nov 2013 01:37:32 +0000 moat comment 186712 at http://dagblog.com
