What I find hilarious is that JPP righties don't realize what trouble their party is in. It's not surprising because they don't realize their beloved teabag party is owned and operated by the Koch bros. LOL!
"The internecine warfare began weeks ago, when it became clear Republicans had no chance of convincing the Democratic-led Senate or President Obama to join them in defunding ObamaCare. With Cruz publicly and privately exhorting Tea Partiers in the House to go through with it anyway, GOP aides called the freshman Texan a "joke" and griped that he was torpedoing the party for his own political gain.
The Republican backlash grew stronger as Congress approached, and then passed, the deadline to fund the government, in large part because the defund position is deeply unpopular with the general public.
Voters, by a resounding 3-1 margin, oppose shutting down the government to block the health-care law, according to a Quinnipiac poll released Tuesday. And by a 74-17 percent margin, they disapprove of how congressional Republicans have been doing their jobs — the GOP's worst marks ever.
Recognizing the strength of their position, Democrats have refused to budge one inch.
"As long as I am president, I will not give in to reckless demands by some in the Republican Party to deny affordable health insurance to millions of hardworking Americans," Obama reaffirmed Tuesday...
"We've called their bluff, and they didn't blink," Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) told The New York Times. "At this point it would kind of strain logic to assume that going deeper into this when Republicans are likely to get the blame will benefit us more."

Even the bought-and-sold Jeff Flake can see the backlash coming.
