Divide Is Sharpening Among Republicans


So, who is who, here?

The Republican racists v. the fiscal conservatives v. the libertarians v. huge telecoms....etc. etc.

In the final analysis, it is the true-believing Theocons v. the idol worshipping wealthy and sociopathic corporations.

The biggest graven image going is the dollar and greed is still a deadly sin, last time I checked, and modern day Pharisees and Sadducees aren't any better than they were 2000 years ago and would still earn the wrath of God, and rightly so, as they drive more people from God than so-called pagans ever will.


Divide Is Sharpening Among Republicans:

"From immigration policy to energy to emergency spending, House Republican leaders are publicly breaking rank with their counterparts in the Senate, fearing that Senate efforts at compromise are jeopardizing the party's standing with conservative voters.

The breach in congressional leadership has been especially stark in the past two weeks. As the Senate returns to the immigration issue this week, House Majority Whip Roy Blunt (R-Mo.) said House Republicans will not agree to any plan granting illegal immigrants a path to citizenship that does not require them first to return to their home countries. House Majority Leader John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) dismissed Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist's proposed $100 rebate for gasoline as 'insulting' and 'stupid.' And House Speaker J. Dennis Hastert (R-Ill.) declared a Senate-passed, $109 billion bill to fund the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, hurricane relief and a bevy of home-state pet projects 'dead on arrival.'"
