Kevin McCarthy’s implosion signals a full-blown Republican revolution

[UCmeNdc]

There is a revolution happening within the Republican party right now. The establishment's hold on power is more tenuous than it has been at any time in recent memory. There is no one currently in office that can claim with any credibility that he or she speaks "for" the party as a whole.

More like a civil war!

1. Nothing civil about Republicans. n/t

2. I would say 'meltdown' rather than 'revolution'.

3. The Republican establishment is demonstrating that it doesn't have any more balls than the Dems

Everyone is scared shitless of this Tea Bagger minority
Kind of like ISIS

[Wellstone ruled]

4. How ever this turns out,

Boner will look like a Saint compared to who ever fills that spot. Not going to be pretty.

8. I am hoping that whoever gets it is a poor public speaker

Boner was delightfully ineloquent in addition to being a weak leader.

My only concern is getting someone in there who is a good orator. Unfortunately a lot of people don't really listen to the message anymore, and a teapot that speaks well could wield a frightening amount of influence over the idiot masses. Honey coated madness could do a lot of harm.

11. Something that was reported this A.M.,

was the TeaBagger Caucus really does not give a rip as long as they get their way. These people are from Gerrymandered Districts and come hell or high water,their game plan is to drive Mr. Obama out of office. Just heard a Wall Streeter discuss this and his statement was this could cause the Stock Market to tank big time.

5. Quick, GOP, form the circular firing squad!

Er, I guess they already have.

6. Is there a scientific term for when "howler monkeys start throwing the poop around"?

That would be the term to use.

7. Gee, Cizilla can write a whole piece without

mentioning Hillary's demise.

[gratuitous]

9. Clearly the Republicans' disarray is affecting everyone

Cilizza will be back on his game and blaming both sides (but mostly Democrats) before you know it.

[NorthCarolina]

10. The same could be said for the Democratic Party

There is a revolution happening in the Democratic party right now. The establishment Democrats hold on power is more tenuous than it has been at any time in recent memory.

See? It fits here too.
