The GOP could either 1) force a short-term spending bill, since the new Congress will be seated in less than a month, headed by the new GOP House; or 2) immediately surrender to the Democrats and pass a longer-term, giant \u201comnibus\u201d spending bill.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Can you guess which route the Constant Failure Party is taking?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Of course you were right.
