Perhaps, but it's going to be damn hard to seem more disorganized than the GOP is now. And one other item... the Dems have no version of the Tea Party, which is the root cause of most of the Republican troubles.
Perhaps that explains the rumor that they will hire an
Well that's a moving target with a fair head of steam. Heck, maybe Steve King will be the next speaker. Put Iowa on the map.
Just thinkin' ol' Stever is getting to be kind of mainstream in the GOP today just by standing in place.
A truly scary thought. On par with Hitler taking power through thoroughly legitimate democratic processes.
King is a good example of why the GOP House is a mess and dysfunctional. These extreme politicians know they are safe in their own districts and thus they refuse to compromise in Congress. It's really an indictment on how dumb those voters in his district really are.

After saying he would not take the job yesterday, Paul Ryan is suddenly looking very likely to be the next Speaker. No means yes, I guess.
The other name that came up and made me cringe was Darrell Issa.
Not sure what to think about an Ayn Rand disciple in that chair, but I can't help but feeling Ryan would be better than Issa.

Yep, everything is relative. Ryan may be a lightweight snake oil salesman who fancies himself a policy wonk, he at least has aspirations of governing, but the criminal Issa is just a shameless political hatchet man.
Well, the choices are pretty much all bad. Ryan's no worse than the rest I guess.
This is a tough one. Ryan probably preserves our credit rating and doesn't default. But Issa might blow up the party. Both worthy goals.
Perhaps not 'dumb', but gullible and manipulatable. Any time a real and uncomfortable/awkward issue for Tea Partiers comes up, they just have to re-direct the debate to: gay marriage, abortion, gun control or Muslims. Those 'fallback' issues are the shiny Christmas tree lights of the new GOP....
Did he accept? Personally I think it would be smart. He could be speaker for the next 30 years and the strongest man on the planet.
Ryan was a darling of the Tea Party not that long ago. The Tea Party (or some of its ranks, at least) may have disowned him in the last year or so, but I don't think we should assume he will resist them as strongly as Boehner did.
No, it's not on par with Hitler taking power. Are you a freshman in college or something?
Oh goodie. Another childish wingnut who can't think about what was actually being discussed once Hitler is mentioned. Do you know how Hitler came to power? Have you listened to the things Steve King says?
Absolutely on par.
The Crazy's as you call them. Are the only thing keeping us from going of the rails. And full commie.
