STAND FIRM! The GOP has cried "Wolf!" once too often. Or in honor of the comics: Lucy has pulled the football away from Charley Brown for the last time! “It’s based on history,” said Arizona Rep. Raul Grijalva, a former chair of the House Progressive Caucus. “Every time that we get into these situations, whether it was the grand bargain or the last CR or the debt ceiling, at the end of the day it is all the GIVE on the side of Democrats. I think that pattern is WELL-DOCUMENTED, and all of us know it. People vote for the greater good, to keep government working. Then you come back around, and there’s nothing left to give. I think we’ve reached the tipping point, with Democrats saying, ‘If you want to bear the responsibility for the crisis you’ve created, then you bear it, and we’re gonna stand firm.’ ”
