I'm so tired of the extremists like Cruz and the extreme tactics of some of the Tea Party conservatives.
Shit, congresspersons, jump in the ring, put up your dukes for your cause and give it all you got fighting for what you and your constituency believe is best. No problem there.
But, when the match has dragged on way too long, neither side is going to achieve a clean victory, and the paying audience is weary from tomato-throwing, these assholes ought to have the sense to get off the ropes. The fact that they'd rather shut off the lights, lock down the arena, and figuratively hold the audience/sponsors hostage than work towards compromises is majorly effed-up and depressing if I think about it too much.
Managers in mid-sized companies know that "all or nothing" isn't a reality when managing for the best interests of a healthy organization and the diverse collective of people who make it possible. But, the leaders that WE elected to represent OUR collective interests in our country seem to have forgotten or ignored that very basic leadership concept. Pissing-match after pissing-match...
Ah well, so the lights are out and nobody's home. They'll be back soon and they've shown their asses now, there's no lower place to sink - nothing much left for them to do except work some things out before the public starts organizing against them and their future electability is jeopardized.
IMO.
