I had a conversation with a Republican friend of mine who said this whole thing was due to redistricting and desires to avoid primaries back home and win local elections.
Bullshit. That is nothing but, utter, mind-blowing bullshit.
His comments highlight the sociopathic and single minded depravity of a party, which I used to belong.
The Republicans are anarchists. Their goal was never about getting rid of Obamacare as much as they would have loved that. In fact, anyone who thinks they would have stopped there is totally delusional.
What the Republicans want, pure and simple, is the end of goverment. The total, complete, elimination of any centralized authority perhaps only with the exception that it exist for the task of maintaining a gargantuan military.
They're not about freedom or liberty or family values or any of the jingoistic shit they talk about. They're about guns, enslavement and giving big business the free hand to do anything it wants.
They're the party of anarchy and fascism
To shut down the government, put 800,000 people out of work and bring us to the brink of default and economic collapse in return for NOTHING shows you how sick they are.
P.S. I'm not giving a pass to the Dems, either. They are a bunch of ball-less pussies who talk about great things, but do nothing. Put out fires that's about it, but only after everything in sight has been scorched.
