one has to wonder if the republican leadership in DC have been bought off or threatened with theirs or their families lives. Bonehead has allowed himself to be put in a tough spot by his constant capitulation to the obozo on everything obozo has wanted him to do for the past 6 years. Unless and until the current republican leadership is removed, obozo will get exactly what he wants and when he wants it and he obviously knows it and expects nothing less.

Why do some people insist that they have been bought off or threatened? Is it soooo hard to believe that they agree with the Democrats on a lot of things? jeez not every thing is a conspiracy.

I know I am in the minority in saying this, but this election was an absolute disaster. The GOPe, which is far more hostile to the constitution than they are to the left, are the big winners. The left, while temporarily deflated, will rise again, due to their strangle-hold on large voting blocks (and also due to the fact that their ideological allies control the media, the education complex, the entertainment industry, and even the party which is nominally their adversary!!!). It is conservatism which is now in the wilderness, and which has no real power base from which to rise.

Defeating the establishment GOP would have been difficult under any circumstances. Now, it is essentially impossible. The "current republican leadership" which you want to be removed (correctly), is now in an even stronger position, and doesn't even have to pretend anymore.
