The cri de coeur of the Republican pragmatist: “I have a philosophy, too. But parties are coalitions.” http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2013/10/the-conservative-war-on-the-gop/280637/

Few things make me stabbier than the gender essentialism of “women are better at working together & compromising.” Tell it to Sarah Palin.

GOP member of Congress told me a couple weeks ago, “Ted Cruz is a brilliant communicator, but he probably never played team sports.”

Congratulations, Republicans! You’re getting exactly nothing for shutting down the government for two weeks. http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2013/10/republicans-shut-down-the-government-for-nothing/280611/

How House Republicans wasted a day: The rise and fall of a doomed GOP proposal http://theatln.tc/18lAvhx
Republicans never expected to get a fair shake in the Big Three networks' coverage of the 16-day government shutdown, but the final tally of stories blaming the GOP is stunning: 41 stories blamed Republicans and zero blamed Democrats.

I agree. George W. Bush drove me away from the Republican party. Now I vote conservative, though sometimes those folks have an ‘R’ by their name.
The Atlantic likes the fact that the current GOP is just another wing of the Democrat Party.
Agreed. Boehner is a failure as a leader. He has no stomach for a fight. He folds like a cheap suit.
Other than Cruz, I don’t see a Republican who truly has core values....They just stick their finger in the air and try to figure out which way the political winds are blowing and go with the flow.
Yes, I think I’ve read enough to understand the process. Point being, the Dems/Fed don’t abide by the Const. NOW, what’s to keep the States/Dems from doing the same?
No, I wouldn’t trust a bunch of lawyers further than I could throw them (overboard w/ a pair of cement shoes....AAhhh, what a sight THAT would be).

Concur...Family members included...harsh but truth.
Ah, so it was the purse strings that finally kicked it into high gear (in your case)?
It wasn’t arbitrarily enforcing those (parts of) laws he liked which ignoring the others?
...re-writing the laws w/out Congressional approval?
...gov’t ‘slowdown’ that intentionally inflicted paid upon the Citizens?
...the total bending over of the Congressional GOP, handing the DEMS/O everything they want?
Hell, what’s a few more $T on the pile of funny $$, at this point, anyway? What representation do We now have? Whom ‘speaks’ for the taxpayer? Whom ‘speaks’ and upholds the Constitution?
