Conservative Authors Blame The Republicans For Congressional Gridlock

So bona fide conservatives Thomas Mann and Norm Ornstein published a new book out that blames Republicans for Washington's legislative gridlock, saying that despite conventional media wisdom to the contrary, it's “asymmetrical polarization.” Surprisingly enough (yeah, I'm being sarcastic), Chris Hayes is the only cable news person to date who's had them on to talk about the book - this, despite them being past of a regular stable of Sunday TV guests. Wonder why? Via Raw Story:

The book describes the Republican Party as “an insurgent outlier … ideologically extreme; contemptuous of the inherited social and economic policy regime; scornful of compromise; unpersuaded by conventional understanding of facts, evidence and science; and dismissive of the legitimacy of its political opposition.”

The authors of It’s Even Worse Than It Looks: How the American Constitutional System Collided With the New Politics of Extremism, who have found themselves ostracized by the Sunday morning shows where they had always previously been welcome, appeared Sunday on MSNBC’s Up with Chris Hayes to discuss the book.

Mann explained that the separation of powers provided for by our Constitution deliberately creates a situation in which that Congressional majorities are unable to act without some degree of cooperation with the other party. Now that “one of those political parties has veered off the tracks” and become “aggressively oppositional,” it has many tools available to prevent legislation from being passed or enforced.

Ornstein singled out the filibuster as a large part of the problem, because it is being “used routinely,” even on non-controversial legislation. However, he also pointed to Republicans voting even against their own bills in order to avoid giving President Obama anything that would look like a victory.

“Problem-solving used to be the name of the game,” he continued. “But problem-solving now — partly it’s the era of the permanent campaign — has taken a back seat to short-term victories.”

Mann added that any Republicans who were interested in problem-solving have left the party over the years, while those who remain are “vehemently ideological” and consider themselves to be “engaged in a holy war.”

*****

A holy war sounds about right, in my opinion. The GOP we once knew has been replaced by ideologues voting against their own bills. The conservative authors conclude what liberals have been saying for a long time now, “one of those political parties has veered off the tracks.”

The GOP circus train is off the rails and headed into Crazy Town.

Distrust, dishonesty, deceit, dysfunction -- prerequisites for being a Democrat.

Flanked by Obama and Pelosi, Harry Reid has a big hand in the attempted destruction of America for personal gain.

Replaced Hip, Now PT Forever?Sep 04, 2013
A friend's mother had a hip replacement about 2-3 years ago. Now the physician tells her she will have to do physical therapy x2 times a week and said she would need it the rest of her life. I have never heard of anything like this. The mother is unable to afford extra $$$ per month to go that many times a week and says she can swing maybe twice a month. Has anyone else heard of forever ongoing PT for a hip replacement? TIA. ...

Something For Liberals To Consider CarefullyFeb 12, 2010
We all know your sources use derogatory terms like "neocons" in a desperate attempt to discredit those with traditional values.  Evidently, your side hasn't studied history too carefully. When did the term "Left" and "Right" come into use?  If you trace back to when there began to be obvious big differences of opinion, you'll come to realize that it is the liberals who have moved--those holding conservative, traditional values have stood firm.  What does this mean?  ...

It has long been a very well-established principle that no one is obliged to pay one cent more in taxes than the law requires - and LIBERALS make better use of that principle than anyone.  In fact, there are plenty of liberals who take, shall we say, "questionable" advantage of the ta ...
