The shiny-object mongers have taken over the House GOP caucus. They think gimmicks can overcome basic math and, with the right tactic, they can win a political battle without controlling either the White House or the Senate.
There's no covering up the fact that the Tea Party already has lost. When solid conservatives like Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Tulare, say the shutdown is suicidal - he called the shutdown-crowd "lemmings with suicide vests" - it's over.
Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., warned that the shutdown would lead GOP acolytes into a "box canyon." Republicans know what happened and who led them into a trap.

Pat was only “off the GOP reservation”
for a fugacious blip in his career, when active in the Perot/Reform Party.
Were he a real “conservative socialist” an inferred appellation which his protectionism (which I favor)earns him from some of his opponents, he would creatively point out, if the US government can ethically maintain an Empire of Bases mostly in corners of the world where they are not wanted by the “street,” it can provide health care to all its citizens.
It should do either both or perhaps neither.
But Dennis Kucinich is right when he says it opts to do only the warmongering, World Police State role.
And, by the way, Kucinich says there is nothing in Obamacare that actually hints at a move to national health care.
for a fugacious blip
I had to look up the definition...
