Hign Noon on Capitol Hill

It reminds me of the old Gary Cooper film, "High Noon," with a much anticipated shootout at high noon in the middle of the road in that dusty cattle town.    To me, anyway, it's clear who's wearing the white hats and who the black hats -- the way old Westerns designated good vs evil.

The House Republicans have just passed yet another poison pill bill to keep the government running -- knowing the Senate will defeat it and Obama would veto it.   Rumors are leaking out from Ted Cruz, no less, that once the Senate votes this one down, the House will pass a "clean" bill (without any defunding of Obamacare measures in it).

They better hurry.   There are only 3 hours and 9 minutes left before the midnight witching hour.

What childishness.    They made their point long ago.  They don't like Obamacare and they're scared to death that it's going to become popular.    They told enough lies to make their base think it's a bad thing.   But once it begins to make life better for people, they will know the Republicans have been lying to them.

Better get this up and posted lest it become old news before it gets up.
