Do you know any GOP voters who are uneasy about hostage taking as a method of governing?
Any who are disturbed that their party has latched onto these kind of methods instead of trying to broaden their appeal and get more seats?
I don't see any of this stopping unless popular disgust and depressed turnout among saner GOP voters resulted in them losing the House in a wave election big enough to overcome gerrymandered districts.
Fox News and their whole media apparatus doesn't let the message ever moderate, but I bet they'd start to change the message if it became clear that "all wingnut all the time" was actually achieving negative results.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
