It runs back to the Gingrich revolution. He (thru GOPAC) personally recruited and trained a bunch of Young Turks -- fascists all, really, many of them Christo-Fascists -- and these are not people to whom there's ANY value more important than simply winning, by force if necessary or even sometimes as the preferred method.

You have to have people who have a sense of fair play, are willing to abide by the rules (rather than change them to their further advantage), believe in something like what's best for the country not to mention the people, etc., etc. That's all missing from the bulk of Republicans in Congress. They're thugs -- extremist, fascist thugs. You can't reason with them, you can't give them an inch (they'll take that mile and then some!), you can't do business with them, you can't "cooperate" with them (they'll take that mile and consider your cooperation mere weakness), you can't shame or humiliate them (they have no conscience), you can't do ANYthing but strongly, STRONGLY oppose them at every turn.
