Wrong as always. Almost every Republican elected since 2009 campaigned on stopping Obamacare, so they were doing what we sent them there to do.

WASHINGTON – Republican Sens. Lindsey Graham and John McCain accused Democrats on Tuesday of spiking the ball in the fight to reopen the government and avert a debt default, saying they were more interested in scoring political points than solving the problems.

“We really did go too far. We screwed up,” Graham told reporters of Republican efforts to use the fight to defund Obamacare. But, he added, “Their response is making things worse, not better.” […]

“To my Democratic colleagues, you are really missing the forest for the trees here,” Graham told reporters Tuesday afternoon. “You really don’t realize what you’re doing here by moving the ball and moving the goalpost and trying to score every political point you can get.”

“As much criticism as I had for our overplaying our hand, I’m really getting to the point of the disgust with some of our democratic colleagues for making this harder for the country than it needs to be,” he said.
