GOPers willing to lose House in losing bid to kill Obamacare

He wants the minority. We can only oblige.

He wants the minority. We can only oblige.

GOP Rep. Phil Gingrey:

Gingrey said Republicans were “absolutely” prepared to lose the House to extract concessions on the CR and the debt limit, and he said the White House is “missing the determination of the Republican Party.”

Gingrey is in luck! The polling the last several days suggests that Republicans are in real trouble, and today's polling isn't offering better results:

Independents blame Congress over Obama for the shutdown 57/41, and GOP in general over Dems 51/37: http://t.co/...

So if Republicans are eager to surrender control of the House over a battle they are destined to lose anyway, then there's nothing we can do except stock up on anvils. It looks like Republican demand for self-immolating devices is at its peak.

Update:

In July independents said they'd vote GOP for the House 39/27. 21 pt shift since then, and now Dems lead 42/33: http://t.co/...
