Either you're a total idiot, or you think we are.

Fear of being "primaried" by Tea Party backed candidates is one of the things weak-willed Republican incumbents buckle to. Boehner wants to hold onto his seat, so does McConnell. They finally figured out that it's better for their party to live to fight another day than die keeping up an asinine Ted Cruz tactic. So they manned up and did what had to be done, Tea party zealots be damned.

You remind me of the 1980s and the mobsters who adamantly insisted the Mafia didn't exist. They were full of shit and so are you.

Bob questioned this, by asking me to give him some examples of those on
the other side. I simply gave him some examples.
