The unsteadiness of the GOP is not a good thing.

Fun to watch---dangerous for the Country.

1. Once they realize that the rabies is fatal

they will bite as many people as possible and do all in their power to take the country with them.

[Mass]

2. Agreed! An interim speaker is not a good thing in these dangerous times.

And the top three choices for president are frightening too.

[DFW]

3. Are you thinking Rutskoy and Khasbulatov?

I don't think we're there yet.

Give it a few weeks. THEN panic.

[Iliyah]

4. K & R

From my perceptive the GOP is power hungry, i.e. money and controlling, and they don't a eff about America nor her people or the rest of the world.

[brer cat]

5. I agree, trumad.

We enjoy watching them eat their own, but that is just the appetizer...we are the main course. As much as I detested Boehner, there are worse ones waiting in the wings.

[gratuitous]

6. We don't have much choice but to enjoy the horrifying show

The Republicans control the House despite polling 2 million fewer votes in 2014. Each and every member of their caucus is a god unto himself. None of them are interested in governance, which should always be distinguished from an antipathy toward big government (if you want smaller government, you at least still want to govern).

These maniacs don't see anything wrong with the House of Representatives collapsing like the House of Usher. They've all got their sugar daddies to finance whatever feckless post-career plans they might have. The rest of the country can just go hang as far as they're concerned. And that is, indeed, dangerous.
