Perhaps they will take it to the same point that Hitler took Germany...attempt to eliminate all those who don't meet their delusional standards!

Specifically Fox News and Glenn Beck (a $13/months schiester) are making lots of money selling tickets to the crazy train.

Boehner himself has agreed to several deals then had the whack-a-woos in his own caucus start spitting and kicking because of what the voices in the dashboard tell them.

I think they're going to go further and further to the right, like a snake eating itself.

They'll continue to move rightward until the party falls apart, like the Federalists and Whigs. At that point the republican brand will be so forever tainted, they'll have to peddle their "new and improved" baloney under a new name. Maybe the "American" party or the "Patriot" party. I'm sure Frank "the weasel" Luntz will find them a suitable name to continue to bamboozle the gullible.
