Soviet style of bargaining

I am reminded of Herb Cohen's description of the Soviet negotiation style.  It is a win at all costs style.  The Soviet style will stick a knife in your back while smiling in your face.

Here we have the Democrats employing Soviet tactics.  Getting emotional.  Making extreme demands.  Using time like they have no deadlines.

What happens is that you begin to bargain with yourself.  If what I see is correct, that's what Boner is doing.  He's going to fund the government until Dec 15th and ensure that the military gets paid.  But ObamaCare would be delayed for a year.  That's bargaining with yourself.  You haven't gotten one thing out the opponent.  Nothing.  Zilch.  Nada.

Boner should go.  This proves his weakness.  Before it's said and done, Obummer will get all of what he wants.  Just like the last time they did this.

But Boner was retained earlier this year.  The GOP may have sealed its own doom with this mistake.
