When You've Lost (Cont.)...

Neo-con legacy hire wingnut John "Putz" Podhoretz, writing in Rupert "Arrrrgh" Murdoch's NY Post:

If ObamaCare had been as unpopular as conservatives believed, their plan for the shutdown — that there would be a public uprising to force Democratic senators in close races in 2014 to defund it — would’ve worked. It didn’t. Not a single senator budged.

Their tactic failed, and now what they are left with is House Speaker John Boehner basically begging the president of the United States to negotiate with him.

Right-wing PAC Heritage Action:

Michael Needham, CEO of the powerful group Heritage Action, said that he opposed conditioning a crucial vote to increase the government's borrowing authority on the group's main goal: defunding Obamacare.

 Astroturf tea bagger Matt "Kibbles" Kibbe, of FreedomWorks:

Matt Kibbe, the president and CEO of the influential conservative group FreedomWorks, also said in a Wednesday interview with The Huffington Post that the debt ceiling should be raised in order to keep the Obamacare fight focused on the continuing resolution.

It might be high time (pun intended) for someone to say "last call," take the bottle out of Mr. Tangerine Man John Boehner's shaky hand and run up the white flag.  It's unconditional surrender time boys.
