Related: About this forumTea Party Rep. Takes On MSNBC Anchor: Obama Will ‘Negotiate with Terrorists’ But Not the GOP
In light of a New York Times article published Saturday that described an epic battle raging within the Republican Party, MSNBCs Craig Melvin invited tea party congressman Joe Barton (R-TX) on his show and began by asking one question: Whos calling the shots, is it Speaker Boehner or Texas Senator Ted Cruz?

This is the first time I've seen this MSNBC reporter & I hope to see more of him -- he's good. Craig Melvin was in his stride with the way he handled the teabagger congressman.

Pointing out that even terrorists can be negotiated with, while Republicans cannot, is really something a Republican ought not be drawing attention to....

Like the old 50's "Body Snatchers" movie where creatures from outer space were going to take over the Earth by disguising themselves as humans, one pod at a time, a Stepford-like cult with twisted ideas is trying to get its grip on the people's government, from the White House on down. They're all like robots. I can't remember the last time I've heard an original thought by a Republican in a tv interview.
