So Many Repugs Are Worried About Being Primaried And Losing Their Jobs......

They don't care about all the Americans that have been unemployed since Bushco days. They haven't done anything to help those people and they bad mouth them when they see them protesting and fighting for their jobs. Now they know how so many Americans feel. Look how these Repugs are fighting for their jobs. They are willing to take this country down in order to keep their jobs.

This is so shameful. I don't know how these guys/gals can even look in the mirror at themselves and feel good about themselves. They have families, friends, associates - that will all be hurt if this country goes into default - yet they are willing to chance that in order to not be primaried.

and I believe that Repugs will be primaried by the Tea Party anyway - whether the Repug Congressman cooperated or didn't. I believe that they will be thinking - if we were able to get away with what we did to Obama, the Dems and the government with just 30 or so of us - think what we'd be able to do if we had more in our ranks.

regain the house in 2014. So, the the extent they gain a few more nut-jobs, the better for us. Maybe it truly will be the death of the R party on a national level for a generation.
