OK, speaking as a complete know nothing here, this is what occurred to me this evening... I look on this date as a tipping point and think this will be the day recorded in history that the right wing lost all credibility with the American public and indeed, the world at large...The inability of Boehner to garner enough votes and the way that this appears to people, has damaged the republican party and the extremes that they have adopted, to a point of no return. This coupled with Sandy/Sandy Hook. A turning point...A shift...We are now on a progressive road.
