The Pity Party gets some new members

By Steve Benen

Last week, House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) complained that the Obama administration intends to "annihilate the Republican Party. And let me tell you, I do believe that is their goal -- to just shove us in the dustbin of history."

House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) joined the pity party over the weekend.

<...>

On "Meet the Press" yesterday, Ryan told David Gregory that he believes President Obama is "thinking more of a political conquest than political compromise."

And on Saturday, Paul spoke at the National Review Institute Summit in Washington and told attendees that the president is committed to trying to "delegitimize the Republican Party -- and House Republicans, in particular."

It may be a coincidence, but the fact that prominent Republican leaders are stressing this same point at the same time suggests it may be a new GOP talking point, which wasn't heard much at all in Obama's first term: the president the right sees as weak and lacking in fundamental toughness is now a brute intend on defeating and destroying entire Republican Party.

from a lying sack of shit who probably spends at least 75% of his 'productive' time trying to figure out ways to manipulate the electoral process in favor of their party-in-decline.

6. Boehner has a good idea there.

We SHOULD be working to annihilate the Republican Party!

They've become the American Nazi Party. They've made it clear that if they're ever given power, they will stop at nothing to keep it, including cheating, destroying democracy, and killing people. They're completely intolerant of anyone who isn't white, rich and fundie like them.

We should be working to utterly crush them.
