As usual, you were ahead of the curve.

Thanks.

If we don’t see the GOP fighting tooth and nail for America by March 15, 2015, it is time to start a new political party and leave them in the rear view mirror, like they did to the Whigs in 1850s. We’ll know by the middle of March which way the die is cast.

Sorry, man, I have bad news: You don't have to wait that long. The die is already cast, even with the new guys.

McConnell made a big speech about needing to (and I use *HIS* word here) "co-opt" the new crew.

Believe me, what you are saying is what I am most afraid of happening—that the new kids on the block get co-opted.

But I have to give them a chance to prove me wrong.

The odds are looking south of 50-50 though.

The rush to do the spending bill to September now rather than going for a short-term extension was a way of disenfranchising the new arrivals.
