Congressional republicans splintering off...

This whole thing reminds me of Al-Qaeda in a way.
Splinter groups running off screaming that *THEY* are the true "pure warriors," and plotting how to eliminate everyone else.

Congressional Wingnut Group Splinters Over Who's Wingnuttiest

It's always fun to watch Republican infighting! The group that launched Steve Scalise into his current position as Majority Whip is splitting into factions, because some of the members don't feel the famously extreme Republican Study Committee is conservative enough.

The group behind the government shutdown and destruction of any progress toward immigration reform in the last Congress is breaking away from the larger committee into a more exclusive, elite group of pure conservatives. This group will be invitation-only and consists mostly of those members with the worst attitudes toward Republican leadership.
