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 The GOP we once knew has been replaced by ideologues voting against their own bills.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.

He admitted that he lied about Mitt Romney too. - NM

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.

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. ...

I lost my best friend on July 31st. He was almost 13 years old, a mixed Lab dog. How does this have anything to do with medical transcription, you might ask?

I just thought I had no other choices. My grief is compounded by the fact that ...

It was a true pleasure to see such a large group in support of many of the basic tenets of the Democratic party. Some were even driven to tears. Where was James Woods anyway?

I would say there was a whole program celebrating them last night! ...

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? ...

Reading some of the posts below of liberals calling people racists, birthers, paranoid, delusional, and all the other insults reminded me of an article I read talking about why liberals use insults and why the arguments of the liberals are so illogical. When you can’t face the facts the next thing is to use the liberal “buzz” words. The fortunate thing is that people have woken up to this style of tactic and it doesn’t work anymore. Calling people names ...

"The liberals that are making false accusations about Tea Partiers must stop!! This is dirty, outrageous, and wrong!! The Democrats and liberals in the media have consistently entered into a smear campaign of tactics consisting of false accusations, hateful rhetoric, and incendiary comments. One particular brand of false accusations that comes to my mind is how the liberals recently have been making charges that Tea Partiers are racists without having one iota of proof to back up their claims. ...

Your president just got proven again to be a complete liar. He lied to all Americans that $400 million was not a ransom payout and yet the state department confirms that the money was held until the release of hostages. How in the heck is this not ransom? Simply because Obama said so? Honestly, are you that brainwashed that someone can tell you a complete lie then have that lie be exposed for all to see, and you will still accept his word as truth?

First of all, liberals don't understand that no one BUT liberals care about what taxes Romney did or did not pay as long as he complied with the tax code that was in force at the time he filed his taxes. 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 ...

Because the election did not go they way they wanted, now they are protesting in the streets throughout the country.

Don't know if any of you have ever watched the "Morning Meeting" with Dylan Rattigan on MSNBC (9:00 a.m. Eastern time), but I would highly suggest watching it. He is very angry about what's going on in the economy (from banks "too big to fail" to the "public option"), but instead of bashing Obama, he refers to the culprit as "the government," since we all know when this really started and how many administrations are really involved. Rattigan used to be on CNBC but is now o ...
