That’s another thing that’s gonna make me grind my teeth into powder, the inevitable rush of “moderate” Republicans to the press after the House votes to tell about how they always knew the shutdown was a bad idea and how they were willing to end it days ago…while the discharge petition started by Democrats still sits at 196 signatures, all from Democrats.

Seriously, nobody tell me ever again that there are “moderate” Republicans. There is no such beast anymore. There’s just “Good Republicans,” the happy little cowards who will nod along to whatever the Tea Party says in the hope that they don’t fall prey to a primary challenger.
