It does not matter one whit if the right purges the idiots, the wacky conspiracy nuts or who ever, because until at least 2012, the only party that makes any difference, the only party that can make progress is the left. They have the majority all around.

I disagree. Strongly. It does matter, greatly, that the right wing has been taken over by extremists, racists, and nutjobs of all stripes. This country needs to have two functioning parties to operate correctly — and one of them is completely out to lunch, with no sign of returning to sanity soon.

So, there is no reason for you to even care about the idiots on the right. It is a meaningless diversion being used to try to take the focus off of the fact that the left can’t get jack shit accomplished and you have a party that is eating their own.

There is some real craziness coming from the right. It can’t effect your majority. Own it.

And you’re ignoring the amazing obscurantism of the Republican Party here. Sure, the Democrats seem to be unable to muster the will to get their legislation passed, but at least part of the blame for this has to fall on the Party of No — the GOP — who are doing everything possible to obstruct and prevent the Democrats from getting things done.

This is the way politics has come to be played in this country, and frankly, it sucks. And neither party has a monopoly on that suckiness.
