    One of the most hardened right wingers of the republican party; one who consistently obstructed any sensible legislation and was the tea party darling to be the next Speaker is now trash.

    Yes, the right has been re-defined

    Would you really be happy if Liberals had a far-left extremist group that had legitimacy?

    Good Lord

    This is why the right is a joke. They have moved so far to the right the paranoia is staggering.

    The right is not a joke, it's part of an overall strategy by the real power brokers in the US. Promoting extremism moves the center to the right. Promoting a schism between ideologies ensures obstruction in Congress.

    What is the one thing business needs to profit? Stability. If business knows laws effecting them won't change, that tax rates and regulations are set, they can adjust business plans for long term profitability. This current sweet spot for corporate profits, gains from the Bush/Gramm/Greenspan years, is what this is all about.

    Everything is always about the money.
