McConnell: For going nuclear before he was against it

1. Business as usual for the Republicans

I think the Republicans have long abandoned even the pretense that they vote the way they vote for any other reason than to support the position opposite the President's position. The Affordable Care Act was a conservative idea developed by the far Right Heritage Foundation, and was cheered when a Republican Governor implemented it in Massachusetts. But when the President agrees to abandon the single payer plan that everyone knows is the best reform we could ever hope for and embraces the conservative approach, suddenly it becomes the greatest disaster since (pick one) the sinking of the Titanic, the 9/11 attacks, the Holocaust, and American slavery. We all can cite countless other examples of their blatant partisanship, but the bottom line seems to be that no harm to the American people is too severe to get the Right Wing to abandon their blatant obstructionism of the black guy in the White House.
