re: #7 lawhawk
Boehner should be drumming these extremists out of the party, but doing so would mean losing control of the party. So, we’ve got the tyranny of the minority in effect where these extremists are running the party.
How can he do that when the de facto leader of the Republican party said “I hope he fails” before Obama was even inaugurated, and the entire party fell in line to try and make it happen?
