"Moderate Republicans"? (*cough* Bullshit! *cough*)

Yesterday:

<...>

By all appearances, House Republicans are now actively seeking a government shutdown, specifically aiming for their goal rather than making any effort to avoid it. Indeed, the unhinged House majority appears to have gone out of its way to craft a spending bill designed to fail.

The bill approved after midnight would deny health care benefits to millions of American families for a year, add to the deficit by repealing a medical-device tax industry lobbyists urged Republicans to scrap, and in a fascinating twist, make it harder for Americans to get birth control. As the New York Times report noted, "The delay included a provision favored by social conservatives that would allow employers and health care providers to opt out of mandatory contraception coverage."

Yes, in the midst of a budget crisis, the House GOP decided it was time to go after birth control again. Wow.

Senate leaders and the White House patiently tried to explain to radicalized House Republicans that voting for this would all but guarantee a government shutdown -- so House Republicans voted for it en masse...take a look at the roll call. Jonathan Bernstein asked on Friday, "Where are the sane House Republicans?" That question was answered quite clearly last night: literally every GOP lawmaker in the chamber voted for their government-shutdown plan. There were zero defections.

When the terrorist hostage taking hits the fan, Republicans love to pretend they're sane.

2. There are no "moderate" Republicans in the Republicans Party. The all migrated to

the Democratic Party. All you have to do is change the R behind your name to a D and bingo bango you are a Democrat. You dont even have to change your ideology.

3. There is no such thing anymore.

They've been hunted to extinction.

From your link.

This was not, in other words, an isolated tantrum thrown by an extremist faction of a once-great political party. This was rather an organized tantrum thrown by the entirety of the House Republican caucus.

Keep in mind, I use the word "tantrum" largely because Republicans told me to. Rep. Tom Cole (R-Okla.), a close ally of House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) said in July, "Shutting down the government to get your way over an unrelated piece of legislation is the political equivalent of throwing a temper tantrum. It is just not helpful."

Last night, Cole linked arms with his fellow conservatives and joined them as they jumped off the cliff together. Apparently, he discovered his affinity for tantrums over the last couple of months.

5. Do you think that there are no moderate Republicans? Obama is able to find them.

Here's one example:



Here's another, someone who was apparently better than all available Democrats.

6. I "think"

No, there is no such thing as a "moderate Republican."

Republicans are terrorists, and sometimes these terrorists become opportunists.
