How the Repugnantans broke Congress

Good article by Mann and Ornstein on how they did it. Their 2006 book noted how the dysfunction was on both sides of the aisle. But no more. Their tax scam is the final straw of evidence that the Repugs are all about payback to their benefactors at the expense of Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security. And it's been a process underway since the 90s when they started to demonize government as the problem.Then there was the all out war against Obama, where they conspired to block everything on his agenda, no matter if they agreed with it or not. Another example is the explosion of right-wing media like Limbaugh, O'Reilley and Fox, which also fed absolute hatred for anything liberal so that no compromise of any kind could be achieved. Dump was just the icing on the logical conclusion they've been developing all this time.
