Once we knock out most of the gang of fifty in the primaries next year like we got many last year, political life will get smarter. However, if the TP critters tie up their own party, Boehner will open up more and more up and down votes, which will strengthen the GOP mainstream party candidates in the primaries next year.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Winners in a bruising struggle with Republicans over homeland security funding and immigration, minority Democrats had unity on their side, along with a politician's understandable fear of terrorist attacks and the Constitution's separation of powers. . . .
The tea party-aligned, bitter-end Republican losers had outrage, and in the House, an unbending unwillingness to compromise that some of their own rank and file judged counterproductive.
The result was a rout that some Republicans say — and Democrats no doubt hope — portends poorly for their party.
