Andy you hang up with a lot of intelligent people. They have the GOP figured out. Those that haven’t still think Kenya is part of Hawaii. As Reagan used to say ‘I didn’t leave the Democrat party, they left me’. Today there are some 3,000,000+ saying the same thing about the Republican party, maybe Reagan would also. This is not Reagan’s GOP.
Nope. The leadership is too busy doing backroom deals - give us a tax exclusion zone for drug manufacturers that made buggy whips 150 years ago in Redondo Beach and we will let that guy take his seat (extracting the appropriate contribution to the party for providing the service).
Its a win for everybody except the tax-payers. And there's Boehner offering to get rid of tax havens - which is great except that it turns out the big one that "they" all want to get rid of is the home mortgage deduction, which will go nowhere because the entirety of DC will be chisled off, drenched in tar and feathers and floated out to sea. [It's ok. Go ahead - I live here, but I am a good swimmer].
