“It’s like a mutiny, not a campaign.”

Brooks must be really really stupid. How could he say that as if he’s on to something... OF COURSE IT’S A MUTINY,” says me, a lifelong “RREPUBLICAN.” (Guess what the “RR” stands for... I might copyright it...”

”The problem is, there’s an illusion in this country, and in the Republican base, that you can govern by screaming.”

Bullshit, david.

All we want is to be governed by people that keep their word after the election promises.

No more, no less. The thing is, we REMEMBER what they promised, and they don't.

It’s clear Brooks really means Trump and Carson have insufficiently creased trousers!

I can honestly say that I hate the guts of the stinkin’, worthless, soulless, corrupt, lying, liberal, money-grubbing, Obama loving GOP establishment.

David Brooks and his butt buddy Mark Shields can go sniff the crease in Obama’s pants, along with the rest of the scumbags in the GOPe.

If the eunuchs in the House and Senate Leadership actually stood for something that matters every once in a while, it would be easier to support the GOP.

GOPe standa for Greedy Oligarch Political eunuchs

No. There is an accurate belief among conservatives that big government liberals of both parties care far more about keeping government open than decent people do. That belief leads to the conclusion that a government shutdown with backbone behind it is a win for America. Either an over-sized government stays shut down and does less harm than it otherwise would, or the big government liberals back down and agree to genuine cuts in their bloated FedGov.

I'd like to see the GOP House and Senate pass budget bills to fund the important parts of government more than ten days before the deadline. That is early enough that they become law with or without Obama's signature unless he vetoes those bills. Then take the other bills to the deadline, and America's enemies no longer have the threat of shutting down all of FedGov. Pass bills that deny funding for Obamacare, Planned Parenthood, and everything else in FedGov that shouldn't exist. Let the liberals decide whether to shutdown Education, EPA, HHS, and other departments that shouldn't exist and that don't help productive people, or permanently remove their most useless or most harmful parts.

Why the US is heading for the garbage dump of failed democracies:

Democrats “respect” the democrat party so much that they place it before the interests of the nation.

Establishment republicans “respect” the republican party so much that they place it before the interests of the nation.
