America's Favorite Parrot, John Boehner, is kowtowing to tea party demands by allowing them to shut down the government and threaten America with economic collapse if Obamacare isn't repealed. The demand is simple: do what we want, or we'll primary you.
There are a lot of pre-tea party Republicans in Congress who remember the last time the GOP threw a hissy fit like this, and they also remember the aftermath: loss of Congress for many terms.
It is time for the pre-tea party Republicans to call the tea party Republicans into a room and explain the facts of life: no one's here forever and if you don't want to see the House go Democratic and the Senate majority become filibuster-proof in 2014, quit trying to destroy the economy.
