Yep, this is what we're up against. To paraphrase the great philosopher Kyle Reese:
Listen, and understand. That Republican is out there. It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever until you can't vote!
Their entire campaigns and public personas are built on deception and lies. But in the back rooms, when they're talking to their Oligarch masters, what it is they truly are comes out in the open.
Take it away Orrin:
Hatch delivered his remarks at the Federalist Society's annual conference in downtown Washington, D.C., Friday afternoon. He also said he is in favor of keeping current filibuster reforms in place, even though he protested when Democrats changed those rules last year.
...
We should not return to the old rule. We should teach those blunderheads that they made a big mistake. And we have the votes to stop bad judges if we want to," he said.
...
Hatch also drew laughs from the crowd when he made fun of the left for using the term "progressive."
"I get a big kick out of them using the word 'progressive,'" he said. "My gosh, they're just straight old dumb-ass liberals anyway."
Well "blunderheads", these are the types of people who now control the congress, and they're going to spend the next 2 years passing nothing but campaign commercials for 2016.
We've got our work cut out for us.
