Endgame Is Here: Republicans Are Breaking

Republicans are breaking.

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the bedrock of traditional Republicanism, now says that it will get involved in Republican primaries by providing financial support to incumbent Republicans who vote to reopen the government and raise the debt ceiling. In other words, if some Republicans act responsibly and then have to face tea party challengers accusing them of being RINOs, the Chamber will have the back of those reasonable Republicans. It's a civil war within the GOP, folks.

That's how far off the deep end the tea party and right-wing House Republicans have gone. They've lost the Chamber of Commerce. Heads must be exploding in the Bush family compound. A bit more than a dozen House Republicans have already come out in favor of voting for a "clean continuing resolution (CR)" to reopen the government at current funding levels (remember, that means the sequester stays in place, already a Republican victory).

And make no mistake, this whole crisis over the government shutdown and, more importantly, the looming debt ceiling deadline, is 100 percent the fault of Republican extremists.

5. Gee, who could have predicted this?

Oh wait, that's right, all of us did. If so many people weren't being hurt right now I'd actually be praying that the Republicans keep the shutdown going indefinitely. They are literally killing themselves and are too stupid to realize it.

9. I can't believe there are still Liberals trying to save these guys from themselves.

11. No they're not

As long as they own the Cable TV and all of the radio stations and newspapers, they will continue to grow more extreme AND more powerful.
