Exactly.

The GOP has spent decades courting lunatics, idiots and the ruthlessly greedy simply to get their votes without ever delivering on promises made. Now, the bill has come due. The crazies want exactly what they have been voting for.

I'm thinking that unless we are very, very lucky what replaces Boehner will be far worse.
