I DON'T THINK SCHEIBER GETS THE ENTIRE BAGGER WORLD

Noam Scheiber argues that the Bagger politicians are concerned with political realities more than they are with ideological purity and that explains why they didn't holdout for draconian cuts to Food Stamps and why they are miles from trying their shutdown the government tactic over the debt ceiling.  I'd say there are still purists like Mark Levin or this group in the movement but few of them hold office.  Their main power is trying to knock off a "RINO" in a primary and that doesn't seem as dire as it once did.
