Another Government Shutdown? Not Gonna Happen (Byron York) from the Washington Examiner
"Ryan remembers thinking as the shutdown became a reality. "This can't be the full measure of our party and our movement. If it is, we're dead, and the country is lost.""
I love this quote -- because it so captures the on-the-ground reality for hard-right lawmakers who seem to be calling the shots on such matters. This IS the "full measure" of the GOP and the Conservative movement right now -- and yes, the current version of the Republican Party IS dead! It just doesn't know it yet. The final piece about the "country is lost" says more about why right-wingers are in such a nihilistic state of mind in the first place. The country is actually doing OK -- it's only conservatives who are lost -- as in they have no idea where they are or where the rest of the country is. -- Nuggetsman.
