unbelievable

I didn't have the strength to watch fox news this morning to do opposition research. Instead, I listened to the supposedly more journalistic approach from another network.

I was struck by the radical cynicism of the Republicans. They continue to deliver their "message" regardless of the number of people who dispute the "facts" they present. There is no flexibility, no sense that they have a responsibility to negotiate let alone compromise.

When I stepped back from their rhetoric, another project emerged. While they are saying that they are standing firm because they want to save the economy of the country, they are actually trying to run the economy into the ground. Why? They want to win the next election. They want to beat Obama, they want to defeat Obama.

It has never been a secret. They said at the last election that this was their proposition.

It is the most heady of the fall of the Roman empire replayed.

Incredible.
