After losing seats in the US House, the GOP has decided to tack from right to far right with its leadership line-up.

 

True to form and reflecting the vicious, vile, Republican tactics in this presidential campaign, the Repugs in the House have chosen to throw down the gauntlet of anti-Constitution, anti-rule of law, reactionary, far right wing Republicanism; a despicable, desperate reaction to a Democratic victory.

 

They will project even more vociferously their anti-common good, hostile opposition and obstructionism.

 

From McClatchy: "Republicans in the House of Representatives on Wednesday gave their bloc a decidedly more conservative — and outspoken — tone, as they voted in new leaders who have reputations as sharp-edged partisans.

"Ohio's John Boehner fought off a last-minute challenge by California's Dan Lungren for the minority leader post, but his new deputy will be Eric Cantor, a tough-talking Virginian who led this fall's fight to stall a financial rescue plan crafted by the White House, Democrats and Boehner loyalists.

"The party's third-ranking House slot, conference chairman, went to Indiana's Mike Pence, a former radio talk-show host who had challenged Boehner for the leadership job two years ago and is a favorite of hard-line conservatives."
