First on CNN: Moderate House Republicans working to line up votes on their own plan

Washington (CNN) - Moderate House Republicans who want to fund the government with no strings attached are working to line up votes against a House GOP plan to renew federal coffers while chipping away at Obamacare, multiple GOP sources involved in the effort tell CNN.

Rep. Charlie Dent, R-Pennsylvania, Rep. Peter King, R-New York, and others are feverishly making calls to stage what would effectively be a revolt.

They say they are hoping there are enough GOP members like them who are fed up with the tactics of the leadership that they can find enough votes to defeat the first procedural measure, known as the rule.

That would prevent the House GOP leadership from even bringing their plan up at all.

Given the makeup of the GOP caucus, these House Republican moderates would need in the ballpark of 20 Republicans to agree to defy their leadership, and be willing to face what will undoubtedly be the wrath of the conservative grassroots.

The fact that Peter King of Massapequa is now considered a "moderate" tells you all you need to know about today's GOP. And why they are destroying this country.

The only ones destroying this country with their Progressive Liberal claptrap are Democrats.

Once again we hear the inept parroting of brain dead leftist talking points.

It's amazing that after Democrats ruled the roost for two years and passed every possible agenda they had ever dreamed of acheiving nothing that could be considered positive and a deficit in the trillions for the last five years idiots continue to point their fingers at Republicans.

It's amazing that with Democrat control of the White House and Senate, brain dead idiots continue to point the finger of blame at the Republicans.

But the most amazing thing of all is how brain dead idiots seem to believe that their idol, Barrack Hussein Obama is not accountable for his deficits, his failed stimulus, his soon to be failed Job killing Obamacare or his own false partisan rhetoric, and continue to point the finger of blame at Republicans.

It's painfully obvious as evidenced by your own dense rhetoric that the most inept, inexperienced, arrogant and buffoonish hyper partisan ass clown to ever inhabit the White House was indeed elected by low information gullible buffoons who mindlessly parrot the moronic Marxist class envy rhetoric of the DNC.
 
This is good news, was this the final battle in the republican civil war?
 
When was the lAst time Republicans broke ranks in such numbers on such a big issue? Do we now have two Republican parties?
 
The political climate is foggy with dense fog developing:

Americans are more conservative than they have been in decades
By Larry Bartels, Updated: September 30 at 2:23 am

James Stimson knows as much about public opinion as anyone in America. He has been tracking the nation’s policy preferences for more than 20 years using a “policy mood” index derived from responses to a wide variety of opinion surveys involving hundreds of specific policy questions on topics ranging from taxes and spending to environmental regulation to gun control.

The latest update of Stimson’s policy mood series suggests that the American public in 2012 was more conservative than at any point since 1952. (Actually, since mood in each year is estimated with some error, it seems safer to say that the current level of conservatism roughly equals the previous highs recorded in 1980 and 1952.) While the slight increase in conservatism from 2011 to 2012 is too small to be significant, it continues a marked trend that began as soon as Barack Obama moved into the White House.

Stimson ’s book, Public Opinion in America: Moods, Cycles, and Swings, provides a detailed description and discussion of his approach. (Stimson tracks liberal policy mood, but I have reversed his index in order to highlight the striking current level of conservatism.) Measuring public opinion by tracking common trends in a wide variety of specific policy questions is a marked improvement over the more usual approach of simply asking people to identify themselves as conservatives or liberals. Many people don’t think in such abstract ideological terms, and even those who do sometimes use the conventional labels in unconventional ways.

Political pundits often suppose that presidential election outcomes reflect the current and future ideological mood of the country. For example, Obama’s election in 2008 was hailed as the advent of “The New Liberal Order” and cited as evidence that “liberal views have re-emerged with a vengeance.” His reelection in 2012 was even more improbably described as “the most decisive mandate for an assertive, progressive governing model in well over a generation.” In reality, Stimson’s data show, the public was already more conservative than usual in 2008, and a good deal more conservative by 2012.

The ups and downs in Stimson’s measure over the past 60 years suggest that partisan turnover in presidential elections is more often a cause of opinion change than a consequence of opinion change. The marked conservative shift under Democrat Barack Obama is by no means unusual; the country also moved sharply to the right under Bill Clinton (before the Republican takeover of Congress in 1994) and Jimmy Carter. Conversely, public opinion moved sharply to the left under Republican presidents Dwight Eisenhower and Ronald Reagan. Indeed, from the standpoint of public opinion, the “Reagan era” had already passed its high water mark by the time its namesake was inaugurated.

As Christopher Wlezien (gated) nicely put it, the public tends to act as a “thermostat,” shifting to the left when the political climate in Washington shifts to the right and to the right when policy shifts to the left. In the past four years, the thermostat has been trending significantly rightward.

Will moderate Republicans stage protests against radical Republican terrorism?

Until they do, there is no such thing as a moderate Republican!

Unfortunately, there are millions just like this asshat. How do you think a clueless buffoon like Obama can get elected to the most powerful position in the world?

Romney was worse and Citizens United guarantees there will be more corporatist like Obama and Romney.
