Note to The New Republicans

מנא ,מנא, תקל, ופרסין

Congrats to John Boehner for allowing the Republican Party to be defined by the Tea Party few. This will not soon be forgotten. When the Republican Party's historic wealthy backers - Michael Bloomberg, Warren Buffett, e.g. - say that they are getting their dollars worth for their taxes, and that taxes are needed to balance the budget, yet you ignore this in favor of the puling rants of Grover Norquist, it is a day of... some sort, don't know what... day of reckoning, I guess.

I guess that the Republican Party will be split between the Medes and the Persians, breaking into the GOP and the Tea Party. That is good. It is better to be an intelligent and conservative voice of opposition than to wield power with the ineffective and suffocating hand of ideology.
