Washington’s conventional wisdom for explaining the intensity of Republican obstructionism toward President Barack Obama breaks down one of two ways: either it’s a philosophical disagreement over the role of government or a desperate need to stay in line with a radicalized right-wing base.

But there is another way to view the GOP political strategy, as neither principled nor reactive to the rantings of Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh and the Tea Partiers. It is that the Republicans are following a playbook that has evolved over more than four decades, to regain power by sabotaging Democratic presidents.

1. I would say the latter.

They cheat to win, and when they lose, they will not play ball.
They will do everything to make sure they get in power again.

2. They have one purpose: to get ultimate power, and then laugh at its meaninglessness like GW Bush.

But they have to get it before they can laugh at it. It's a Jung thing.

3. R's aren't the problem

It's the toxic voters that somehow find common ground with these toadikins.
