Take some Maalox before you read this headline from The Hill (via HA headlines):
“McConnell says GOP could back stimulus.”
The upshot, as I read it, is that the Republican Party is willing to entertain the Democrats’ massive stimulus so long as they get kabuki hearings and some nominal input into the package.
Here I was, gearing up [...]

Reader Ron wants to know: “Will Saxby stab us conservatives in the back now that he’s been re-elected? He should be leading the charge against this bailout of the UAW that tried to defeat him. He’s been AWOL on it.”

“What do we do now, Michelle?”

The GOP King of Pork has been found guilty on seven felony counts for making false statements in relation to his corruption probe.

…the Republicans deserve to lose it for not doing a better job of defeating Stevens [...]

Suicidal.

Hell, yes, this is a time for “ideological purity.”

Up or down, Nancy. Up or down.

Andrea Mitchell in hostile territory.

“We were looking for someone who would be transformative and take control of the party away from the social conservatives.”

Curb your enthusiasm.

The rule of law.

“…the behavior of nations, like human nature, is unchanging…”

Condiments scored!

The capitulation you deserve.
