The biggest issue is I won't get paid.
"With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censured, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably."

Boehner concedes defeat..And what ended up happening is what most predicted would happen when this 1st started.. Anyone in this universe could see the GOP could in no way win this fight.. Yet we had to put up with this nonsense for 2 1/2 weeks..
But reading quotes from some other Republicans in the House many are still 100% ideology driven. They are still living in a world where Obamacare is the root of all evil... The problem is when someone holds onto their pure ideologues is that no one can be pure enough for them.
In other words we'll be down this road again and the GOP will still be having a civil war. The moderate GOP's in the House still have no balls.

The tea party base is convinced they are winning. Read some of the comments on Fox (or better yet, Fox Nation).
Per them, this is just an initial step in cleaning out the RINOs. Once that's done they can really start winning elections and putting America back on track! Because True Conservatism (as laid out in the Book of Reagan, I imagine) has overwhelming appeal.
Surreal. I'm not sure how we can fix systemic political problems when a sizable chunk of the electorate lives in an alternate universe.

tea party isn't anything new. this is just what politics becomes when you combine it with your religion, which the tea party has.
absolute dogmatic faith in being correct, f**k the facts.
