The Republican Party has completely derailed our government with their disgusting partisan nitpicking and squabbling. All so they can score points with the crackpots in the Tea Party (AKA the religious right), Hannity, Limbaugh and the collection of the lying trolls in the right wing media.

Originally Posted By Dr Hans Reinhardt The Tea Party is completely unhinged and terrifying. Imagine if it had control of the Senate too.

I sent some emails, made a couple of phone calls. Yeah. Oh, I did talk to Apple because my iTunes Match isn't working right. That was a pretty exciting deviation. I came home. Made pizza for dinner. Did homework with my kids. Grounded my son for failing *again!* to turn in his homework. He pleaded with me to "make him sleep outside, not feed him, but please don't take away my texting!" Don't worry, though. Tomorrow I'm giving away half-off an abortion coupons, performing a wedding between a man and his iguana, praying to my statue of Lenin, and burning the flag with my Wiccan friends.

Originally Posted By Tikiduck Like I said before, few, if any Republicans have the mental comprehension to present any kind of rational defense for what is going on. Hell, a good number of those at the very pinnacle of the party are coming off as deranged imbeciles.
Originally Posted By Dr Hans Reinhardt "Like I said before, few, if any Republicans have the mental comprehension to present any kind of rational defense for what is going on." It sure appears that way, doesn't it Tikiduck? I think the moderates in the GOP were maintaining a "let's wait and see" attitude since it was unthinkable that government leaders would be this reckless and stupid. Now that Boner, Cruz, Heritage Action and Freedom Works have driven their party into a ditch they're probably shocked speechless.
