...the current intra-Republican conflict over the budget shows that they may have gotten so used to shaking their fists and drawing lines in the sand that many of them can’t imagine any other way to go about negotiating — even when Barack Obama and the Democrats aren’t involved.
Republicans have been arguing bitterly among themselves for days now over a budget resolution — whether it will increase military spending, and if so, whether some of the money will be offset by other budget cuts or not. At various moments the conflict has pitted fiscal hawks against military hawks, the House leadership against uppity backbenchers, and the House against the Senate. The drama, which included a failed late-night vote Wednesday in the House Budget Committee, has largely been around a mere $20 billion of the $600 billion Republicans want to spend next year on the military. It sometimes seems like an endless episode of “Real Housewives,” where even the tiniest disagreement quickly turns to shouted insults and overturned chairs.

Difference of opinion is an alien concept to the progressive hive mind
Look at the clown avatars, you those are independent thinkers?
Today's Republican Party is the Democrat Party of the 70s and 80s.
Republicans can’t stop fighting — even when they aren’t fighting Barack Obama
...That is because they do not have any other agenda except Obama. Example. Trumped up charges against Menendez. Are you kidding me? Menendez created his own problem. Then justice department should just ignore it? Maybe Stephanie is watching too much Fox News.
