I don't consider people who are moderate in their tastes and style to be weak. I consider them well-formed, sane, reliable, and virtuous. But there's nothing moderate about cutting a deal with a crocodile like Mitch McConnell.

We're trying to craft an energy policy with a party that pretends to disbelieve in climate change. We're trying to reform the health care system by working with a party that talks about death panels. We're trying to pass a surface transportation bill with a party that thinks bicycle paths are an insidious plot by the United Nations to strip our country of its sovereignty. We're trying to address our long-term structural debt with a party that thinks math is for snobs.

The GOP controls one half of one branch of government and yet they are behaving as if they have a mandate to totally rewrite the last 80 years of American political history.
