Showing Original Post only (View all)Small Band of Extremists Want Total Control of the Government [View all]
http://www.salon.com/2015/10/18/ted_cruz_wants_to_be_king_make_no_mistake_the_gop_extremists_real_goal_is_absolute_control/snip:
The Movement Conservatives now calling the shots in the Republican Party are forcing the nation toward a Constitutional crisis. A very small number of extremists are trying to bend the federal government to their will. They want to force the president to abandon his own policies and adopt theirs. If he refuses to cave in to their demands to kill Planned Parenthood, they will refuse to fund the government. They will force it to shut down. The thirty or forty people in the secretive House Freedom Caucus, elected by voters only from their own deeply Republican districts, want to erase the constitutional role of the president. They want to impose their will on the American people.
And the corporate controlled media will say both sides do it. Forget overseas terrorists, the Tea thugs and Movement Conservatives are a clear and present danger to our country.
