4. Could be that for them obstruction is still Job 1

They can't preach the glory of obstructing 'east coast libruls'--aka "Yankees"--for years and then have their followers turn it off overnight, or even over a fortnight.

Some of their rabble rousing leaders are still busy dropping voodoo dolls into bottles of pee!

14. I used to lurk there many years ago

and I would say that they're worried about enough Republicons being squishes to join with the Democratic Party to pass the Senate bill extending the Bush-era tax rates only for those making under $200-250K. If that goes through the House sucessfully, they'll have lost a lot of leverage on entitlement reform.
