Just Don't Give a Fuck

The Republican party is rightly screwed. They're going to lose the Presidency, and lose enough Senate seats to cripple their ability to do anything.

But in the House, they've been hamstrung since 2006, and there is no hope for any change from that position any time soon. They have no leadership, and no plan for recovery. There is no way for a GOP Rep. to increase his/her power in the house beyond that of an ordinary member. These guys that remain, the majority of 'em, are from such hard right districts that they face almost no chance of losing re-election. Add to this:

1. They hate Bush, for being such a fuck-up.
2. They hate McCain, for being an apostate and an asshole.
3. They're too venal and corrupt to care about the rest of us.

So their default position on the bailout is: FUCK YOU THAT'S WHY! This will, of course, be their default position on anything and everything during the Obama administration.
