A libertarian, a moderate and a conservative walk into the U.S. Capitol. |
They are engaging in a battle within its own ranks. The Establishment verses the Tea Party.
Republicans are fighting with one another. They can't seem to get their act together.
The Establishment wants to build a coalition of voters who are moderate and conservative.
The Tea Party wants to build a coalition of voters who are conservative and libertarian.
Each of these factions hate President Barack Obama, but it really seems like they hate each other just as much.
Many Republican House members are so tired of Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio), some declared that he may not have a place as the speaker if the Republicans win the House in 2014.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky) is facing a tougher fight for his longtime seat. He's got an opponent from the right and the middle. The Tea Party lined up a candidate and the Democrats lined up a moderate.
Each of them would do far better than McConnell. But that hasn't stopped the five-term senator from doing dirty politics in this race. He really fears losing.
Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Virginia) and former presidential nominee Senator John McCain (R-Arizona) have bucked the Tea Party one too many times.
The agitators on the right are fuming over the direction of the Republican Party. Even Loserville is in the crosshairs of the conservative agitators. King Hippo and Palin Da Ass have express outrage over the Republican's treatment of Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) during his interview on Loserville Sunday with Chris Wallace.
Chris Wallace, Brit Hume and David Brooks have been friendly to Republicans and conservative activists in the past. What happen?
They say there's a serious concern that Republicans are too extreme and it's because of talk radio.
The civil war is ongoing and the Democrats are sitting back and watching all the fighting from outside.
This filibuster stunt by Cruz has angered the Republicans.
Republicans are pissed at Cruz, Senator Rand Paul (R-Kentucky), Senator David Vitter (R-Louisiana), Senator Mike Lee (R-Utah), Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (R-Minnesota), Congressman Louie Gohmert (R-Texas), Congressman Steve King (R-Iowa) and Congressman Steve Stockman (R-Texas).
They run to the cameras instead of working with the party leadership to at least get things done. The Republicans wanted to make the Democrats seem like they're the ones who are overreaching, but this plan is backfiring.
The looming government shutdown is going to be placed squarely on the feet of the Republican Party.
My question: How could they blame President Barack Obama for allowing a government shutdown if he's such a "big government" liberal?
I mean it goes equally if the Republicans continue to pass budgets that include defunding Obamacare and the president threatens veto if the Congress passes it.
The House symbolic votes aren't productive. Republicans repealed Obamacare 43 times, cut funds to food stamps over 22 times, cut farm aid numerous times and still know that it's not going to pass in the Senate.
If the government shuts down, then I can assure you that the Republicans lose the New Jersey's senate race, possibly the New Jersey governor's race and Virginia's governor race.
Okay, what are your thoughts on the Republican civil war?
