I never cease to be amazed at people thinking this is "new".I dont know what happened to the Republican party but they have turned into a bunch of pussies afraid of their own shadow.
They are congresscritters; they pretend to think as a team (we only have rwo: red and blue, ask the moron that votes); they only play to line their pockets; they only line their pockets to CONTINUE LINING THEIR POCKETS; they only and ever RUN to line their pockets, which means tagteaming to toe the line and "give each other a turn".
Eventually folks will catch on and remember stone-walls have a great, unintended porpoise...
