Thoughts on the Eve of the Latest GOP-Manufactured, Unnecessary Crisis

President Obama says: I won't negotiate over the debt ceiling. John Boehner says: Won't negotiate? That's not how things work. I say: No negotiation with terrorist blackmailers is long-established American policy. **************** These Republicans are the same guys who have been banging the drum about how bad for the U.S. Economy "Uncertainty" is. Do they give out awards for most blatant hypocrisy? **************** People now see the crazy destructiveness, but something is strikingly still missing. Why don't our national commentators spend more time on questions like: "How did it come to pass that one of our two major political parties has become this monstrosity?" Or: "How did the Republican Party break so bad?"
