Good, now we're getting somewhere. Now, to continue:
Now, be kind enough to explain to me how disrespecting your own senior senator (who helped you get elected in the first place) and your president is not a "suicidal" position. How does that dynamic work? How does Santorum get anything done if he has alienated all these members of his party? How does he get re-elected with only his base and no help from the rest of his party?

Look, you have a completely different view of what representative government is supposed to look like, and I don't have time to educate you from the ground up.
Here's the deal:
Representatives are elected by and accountable to the people who bothered to work for them, went to the polls and cast their ballots for them. If we have a bunch of politicians who are simply beholden to one another, we have nothing more than an echo chamber, not representative government. WAKE UP!
