oh come on, you’ve never seen party leadership change factions or in other terms, change control from conservatives to others, and vice versa? like it will never happen ever again? or it’s now impossible to do it?

boner is scared to death of the tea party. thus the hysterics and reactions of the gop-e. they don’t act this way for people they don’t believe can harm/defeat them. that means tea party has real power and is considered a serious force requiring such a response, cuz if they lose, they know they can take power away from the rinos/gop-e leadership.

ps boner is now going full-blown Crist. /charlie crist, not Christ

Interesting notion...let's take it out for a test drive.

Do you expect at some point in your lifetime a Democrat Party less left than, say, 2000-2008?

During my lifetime, the Repub party has only moved to the right once, in 1980-1988. From 1960 on there was perhaps Goldwater, who was a defense hawk and a social liberal...but during that entire time, there was only Reagan.

Exception noted, the path of the party has been slowly left over that time period. The character of the party has been pretty consistently Michel-like (again, with the exception of Reagan and Gingrich).

Am I wrong? Is there any reason to expect different?
