Maybe the GOP got this way because the dems let them all along? This started when dems caved to the Tea Party and started negotiating with them when they pointed the default pistol at the national economy in 2011. Had they put their foot down and let the Tea Party push us into default back then the GOP would have taken the kind of political losses to discourage them from doing this shit again now. Instead, they negotiated with terrorists and set the precedent that it's okay to put a default pistol to the head of the national economy to get budget demands. The dems set the precedent back then and the GOP is simply picking the pistol back up again because they know that using it works against weak sauce dems.
