If your Representative is a Republican, ask if he/she has read The American Conservative's Op-Ed:

[Faryn Balyncd]

Here's a pithy quote from The American Conservative's "State of the Union" editorial "It’s Time to Throw the Tea Party One Ring into Mount Doom", published October 8, discussing what this old line, right-wing, conservative (and certainly not "moderate&quot publication terms the " implacability of the House's kamikaze-cons" :

". . . Why are Republicans inflicting real, immediate, and tangible harm on the economy in order to accomplish the impossible (delay or defund Obamacare) address an abstract future threat (debt) or merely to save face? Why isn’t the majority of the House majority isolating its rightmost faction and ending this pointlessly asinine pissing match?"

"Contra the conventional wisdom, I maintain that no one in leadership will lose his job. The very nature of Tea Party opposition, whether it issues from the likes of Bazooka Ted and His Gang in the Senate or the unappeasable Jacobins in the House, is to throw weight without consequence. They evince no interest in actually wielding power from the inside, which would require restraint, conciliation, and moderation. They are hysterics on the brink of utter demoralization. The danger they pose to democratic norms, institutional comity, and political functionality is precisely why they can’t be bargained with; they must be marginalized."

Thinking it might be appropriate to simply (& politely) inquire if my Republican representative had read this editorial, and what his position on the House Republican direction since being taken over by the Kamakaze Cauucus, I called both my representative's office, and also Speaker Boehner's office.

Unfortunately, unlike my representative, none of Speaker Boehner's offices seem to be answering their telephone today, or at least not within 1 hour. (Can't imagine why)





Here's a link to House members office telephone numbers:

(While it's important to keep the conversation polite) . . . should not any Republican representative have an opinion on the Kamakaze-cons that are tearing apart their own party?
