Reply #24: An observation on the republikan game plan

[randr]

As I watch mitch and cohorts bend over backward to dismiss any attempt by Obama and friends to advance bills long awaited, I am sure of one thing. The repugs are afraid of the teabaggers and will do nothing to incite their ire. Moderates in their party are dinosaurs and are moving as fast as possible to the right in all matters. This situation has paralyzed them and they are incapable of governing.
Governing requires reaching consensus. That is what it is about. We elect the leaders we think will advance our cause as they conduct civil discourse.
When a party is taken over by and bends to the will of a loud and possibly violent faction they have lost the ability to govern.
When all the smoke clears and the public has a chance to the the newly elected fringe try to act responsibly I feel the nation will respond and move in the opposite direction from this recent election.
All that is needed is for responsible leaders to emerge on the left and continue to present ideas that will resolve the important issues of our day.
