But they ain't Mitt Fucking Romeny.
Or Ted Cruz. The thought of that guy being president honestly terrifies me, save for how unlikely it is to ever happen.
But, yeah. Democrats have a lot of room to improve. Republicans, on the other hand, are running out of shovels on their quest to find out just what rock bottom actually is. One effect I hope that this shutdown has is that the people who voted for these insane assholes are hurt the most by the effects of the shutdown (and the default, if the GOP thugs make that happen, too), not out of revenge, but perhaps so that a few of them realize that they are voting for political terrorists, and stop doing so. I don't care if they vote for Democrats or a rare rational Republican or even Santa Claus if that's what they want, but the Tea Party is a festering boil in serious need of lancing and nothing short of Tea Party voters suffering serious hurt because of their representatives' disregard for rational political discourse is going to make them stop casting votes which hurt themselves and everybody else.
