It certainly seems as though the GOP is orchestrating a pageant of contrived television events meant to draw in followers who may have gone astray. Tea parties and theatrical outrage over alerts issued from homeland security. Broadcasters find this kind of thing irresistable and, like stray cats, are drawn to lap up footage from a saucer of engineered controversy.
Tejas Governor Perry will probably have to eat his words about independence. If he is smart, he’ll realize that crow is best eaten while still warm.
What is striking about post-election GOP behavior is the magnitude of the mean spiritedness and the heat of the invective spewing from the right. These people are pissed off about their role as the minority party.
The fact of power is the act of power. What is so telling about the character of the GOP core is that despite the mandate of the last election, GOP soldiers continue to vociferously spout expired doctrine despite the will of the majority of voters. Contrary to the interest of voting citizens, these people are gaming every rule, squirting glue in all the locks, and dropping flaming bags of political shit on every doorstep they can find.
This is a valuable insight into the party of “character and values”. Instead, they have betrayed themselves as the party of “win at all costs and take no prisoners”.

Limbaugh criticized the Obama administration for murdering three black Muslim teenagers on the high seas. The President of the United States and Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces has license to kill those who threaten American citizens. How many American deaths justfy a full declaration of war in which untold hundreds of thousands may die? One American death. However, if you commit you had better be prepared to win swiftly and at any cost. The alternative is unthinkable – Bush the Lesser’s thoughtless statecraft.
This is not the end of all, I still have hope.
GOP must learn form they mistakes. and I hope is soon enough
Yeah, but the only enduring message that the GOP seems to have understood from the past thirty years is that if you ignore reality (and slander anyone who deigns to bring it up) you can get elected over and over. Mistakes (at least their own) don’t appear to exist for the ‘pubs. If the GOP actually learned from its mistakes, they would either be really dangerous (more likely) or really useful.
Of course, as long as you have large groups of the population who will vote for you even if you melt the ice caps and leave the nation in ruins, you have the luxury (necessity) of ignoring the consequences of your actions and not learning from them.
