Idiotic threats

CNN.com reports that:

Senate Republicans promised Wednesday to block legislative action on every issue being considered by the lame-duck Congress until the dispute over extending the Bush-era tax cuts is resolved and an extension of current government funding is approved.

Politicians are stupid. Period. This reminds of the mid-1990s when Newt Gingrich shut down the government. Okay Republicans, go ahead. Block everything so that your special interest groups and those who need the tax cut least come before all else in the agenda.

The funny thing is that deep at heart I'm probably a fiscal Republican, but the crazy nonsense that goes on in the Grand Ol' Party makes me cringe. Not that the Dems are any better either, by the way.

I think deep down, most of us are fiscal conservatives. However, since we are forced into one political camp or the other, we have to compromise on that issue because of the crazy crap coming out of the current "conservative" party.
