Hal Rogers (R-KY) on House Floor talking about need to compromise and that House is only

1/2 of 1/3 of government, so need to compromise as well as avoid threat of default and not shut down government again, and restore confidence of people in government.

Who kidnapped the senior Republican and replaced him with a sane person?

at how many Republicans are anti-Tea Party. They basically rode them to electoral victory, and thought they could control them, but can't.

I honestly think at least in the short-term, you will see some of these guys get very vocal, because they sense an opportunity to take their party back.
