GOP's Xmas gift to the nation: Economic ruin December 24, 2012 12:18 pm BuckGalaxy

A little “holiday cheer” here…

The failure of “Plan B” puts us on the path to default.

The United States faces a crisis in our political system because the Republican Party, particularly in the House of Representatives, is no longer a normal, governing party.

Really, what is to be done about this Republican Party? What force can change it—can stop Republicans from being ideological saboteurs and convert at least a workable minority of them into people interested in governing rather than sabotage?

Enough!

Republicans are Scorpions, Democrats are Frogs

All I want for christmas is a new gop… And so, we have a Republican Party today willing to eliminate any prospect for a decent future for anyone, including itself, if it cannot be a future that is 100 percent in accordance with its core beliefs and principles. That’s not governing. That’s just lobbing hand grenades.
