The Bonehead resignations portends a darker future as the same band of tea baggers are now after McConnell too resign. The tea baggers are determined to get rid of leadership they consider "pussies". They and leader who are "no prisoners taken" and "no negotiating" activists.
What that should tell the rest of us is that we have a contingent in Congress that really wants a "coup". They would shut down the government until their demands are met. And what might those demands be.
Shut down of Planned Parenthood.
Abortion made illegal.
Prayer in schools.
Bible base governing.
Balanced budget law.
End of Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Food Stamps and all other domestic spending.
Increased Military spending.
Military action in the Middle East.
And who knows what else.
