From the blog of my buddy,
Dave Hardy:
But like a wounded and cornered wild animal – the dying GOP can still inflict a great deal of damage on our Body Politic. Paul predicts the next few years will be “very, very ugly”.
RE: The G.O.P.'s
Existential Crisis (P. Krugman - NYT - 12/13/12)
Paul reminds us that this latest
“fiscal cliff” debacle is just another manifestation of the GOP thrashing around
in its death throes. All their core values (making the rich much richer,
killing off the entire welfare state, dragging American culture and mores back
to the early 20th century, etc.) simply happen to be extremely
unpopular with the majority of Americans. And after 40 years of playing to
Americans’ worst nativist and bigoted instincts – their shell game of getting
poor white folks to vote for the Party of Wall Street is finally wearing
thin.But like a wounded and cornered wild animal – the dying GOP can still inflict a great deal of damage on our Body Politic. Paul predicts the next few years will be “very, very ugly”.

Yup, fasten your seat belts and get ready for an ugly ride, thanks to the GOP, now reduced to being just a 'spoiler'.
