Just a reminder that the entire GOP is a bunch of unredeemable bigots, regardless of whether they're from the crazy bigot wing or the sane bigot wing.
Vote in 2014 if these issues matter to you.

Until that happens, they are willfully stupid, ignorant, and malevolent.

(31,222 posts)cottage industry built on hatred of any & all things Obama. Many rightwing organizations have never seen such a boon. Obama's created a number of jobs on the right. Talk radio, opinion writers, and bloggers have seen their patronage skyrocket since the election of the first black president. Various thinktanks and "movements" have watched their bank accounts balloon out of fear & loathing for this president.
They're enjoying the status quo. It's the $$$$$$$.

But, they're irrelevant if they're in the House minority, so they seek the majority without any interest in using it to do useful stuff.
