It doesn't happen very often. At least it didn't used to. Until recently, the Republicans have held a very strict discipline. They may have their disagreements in private. But in public, they never speak ill of another Republican. They always vote as a block. And they always have the same talking points.

So what's to make of the recent refusal of over 80 Republican Congressmen to vote against the 2011 budget compromise? It seems like an escalation of a simmering tension between the Tea Party and the GOP center.

It's not that they have very strict discipline. The party is 90% white and they normally vote in a block. But the "Teabirthers" have taken over. Having a black president has freaked them out.

They do like "discipline". They hold fundraisers and strategy sessions in "Lesbian Bondage Bars" and ship the bill off to their base.

I was just pointing out the obvious. Which part was wrong?

You point out the truth to right wingers and they call names. At least they don't try to prove me wrong. They can't and they know it.

The tea party will kill the republican party.


They push the party into narrowing its view and they will do it right up until the party is so narrow it cant win any elections.

Keep pushing the party right.

If you notice more Americans blame the republicans for the current direction of the country which they dont like.

Keep pushing your party right, right off a cliff

It needs to be pointed out to Stephanie Teabirther that Republicans are being recalled in historic numbers. Besides, you're not a millionaire. What are they doing for you?

What fucking planet are you people from? They are people, just like the Democrats, there is no such thing as voting as a block in the real world.

No Republicans cast a "yes" vote on the procedural motion, keeping Democrats from the 60 vote threshold needed to move forward. One Democrat, Nebraska's Ben Nelson, voted "no" outright.

You see this again and again. The Senate, the House, Republicans voting as a group. Every Republican voting the same way, over and over again. It's referred to as "Voting in a Block". To say it's not true and doesn't happen is ridiculous and delusional.

Leave it to Rdean to think 1 Democrat voting different than his party, as proof Democrats do not vote as a block.

LOL

From your link.

Nelson said he couldn't support moving to debate on a bill he hasn't seen, and that his vote was not an indication that he would oppose the legislation.

In other words, no one had read the bill yet, so no intelligent person could vote for it. If this actually proved anything, it would prove that Democrats vote in a block and do not think.

Thank God the GOP is trying to stop the Obama crazy spending train from sending us to oblivion...

Read the link. Democrats are willing to "discuss", Republicans are not. Oops.
 
The need to eliminate political parties is becoming more evident by the day. Without political parties maybe politicians can do a little original thinking on their own instead of falling lockstep behind a figurehead leader.
