In today's GOP, the lunatics aren't the fringe. They are calling the shots.

There ARE a few "moderate" Republicans left, but God knows why. They are treated like pariahs.

The big interparty struggle right now for the GOP isn't between the moderates and the right wing. It's between the Establishment Far Right, and their Frankenstein's monster Tea Party, the far-far-far right shock troop fanatics, whom the GOP used to ride back into the House majority in 2010.

Too bad no one in the House has actually seen Reid's plan. Is this another "we have to support it to find out what is in it"?

The CBO saw it and said it cut 2.2 trillion. The Senate should just take those cuts and raise the debt ceiling by 2.2 trillion and send it to the House.

They saw it? You have no idea how CBO scoring works, do you?

That is what comes down to. You are either party of the right wing fringe lunatic crowd or you are communist. Really nothing in between.

The CBO said it cuts 2.2 trillion. Other than seeing it, I have no idea how else they would know.

It's so old and tiring listening to it. I fall somewhat right of center, but there's no way I could support the modern day GOP.

Here's a Republican who hasn't lost his way. He's obviously not the typical regressive with his foot in his mouth while his head is in the sand. Good post.
