Meh. I turned on Fox News the other night. It was Hannity interviewing a couple Republicans whining about being ousted from some party function by Boehner and the party elite. It was a touching story, filled with conspiracy, treachery, lies, and destroyed documents. I threw up in my mouth a little and changed the channel.
I read that story, actually. Turns out, Boehner is trying to put more distance between the base of the Republican party and the Tea Party extremists. Kinda cool that Boehner might actually be learning a lesson or two from this last election, but if the voters don't take heart, it won't really matter. As long as the Republican voters keep nominating far right whack jobs like Santorum or Bachmann, they don't stand a chance of winning the presidency. Even if they don't nominate far right lunatics but the rest of the party is populated by them it taints their candidates party label (which is exactly what happened with Romney).
