Rachel Maddow blasts GOP intransigence: Elect Republicans and they will burn the place down
MSNBC host Rachel Maddow outlined the Republican path toward grinding the government to a halt on Monday night, pointing out that on multiple occasions over the past few years, GOP lawmakers and candidates swore they would do just that.
There is nothing about the last few weeks of political back-and-forth that explains why this is happening. Theres nothing about health reform, specifically, that explains why this is happening.
What is happening tonight is happening tonight because this is what Republicans want to do, Maddow said pointedly. This is what they promised to do. This tactic Lets Roll! is an end in and of itself, and that is why theres no talking them out of it. Elect Republicans and they will burn the place down.

(3,944 posts)Bunch of cowards, afraid to offend anyone. So, for every issue, both sides are to blame.
I turned off corporate TV news years ago. I wish more in this country would.

(57,081 posts)with no national GOP candidates worth spit is coming up. I may not get rid of Cruz but a lot of y'all will be getting some relief, no doubt about it.
There is one party to blame for everything that is going wrong in this country, and that is the republicans. When they took control in 1995 with newt that was his style say certain words call your opponent names, accuse them of being something they are not. This is what you get a bunch of assholes that want everything their way or no way. So anyone that says it is both parties fault has a know idea what the hell they are talking about.
