STEPPING ON THEIR OWN CRANK
The Republicans are so scorched earth that they lost the chance to get middle of the road Democrats on their side for their positions.
When Evan Bayh wants to beat the GOP more than to be a pain in the ass to his own party you know that the GOoPers have gone too far.
Well, we knew it. Now, I hope, they know it.
Nothing. Nothing is going to change the reform bill. It will be law. And it will be amended up.
Even if the Demos lose some seats over it in 2012, it stays. And the GOP is made to look like the total obstructionists they have decided to be.
Not all. Grassley, who is a bastard and a turncoat to his gang of six, would have gone for a bill with half the money that will be spent. But he was slammed back into the NO boat. As, clearly, were Collins and Snow of Maine. They will have primary problems if they stray from the tea bag purity tests.
There are more. None will fight the current leadership or risk the wrath of the tea baggers. The crazy right was turned loose to hurt the Democrats. Guess who they are hurting most.
