This is what MSM guru Dana Millbank says was coming from “Republicans”: "The conduct of the Republican leadership was disgraceful, it was indefensible and it was immoral." *** "There was a betrayal." *** "Disappointing and disgusting." *** "It's inexcusable." *** "Failed that most basic test of public service."

EARTH TO DANA MILLBANK: YOU MADE A BIG MISTAKE BY QUOTING MICHAEL GRIMM. YOU SEE, HE’S MY REPUBLICAN-CONSERVATIVE CONGRESSMAN FROM BROOKLYN AND STATEN ISLAND, AND GRIMM’S STUFF THAT YOU QUOTED DIDN’T EVEN RESONATE WITHIN HIMSELF FOR A WHOLE DAY
However, I do agree with this part of what Mr. Millbank had to say — “It certainly will resonate with voters in the Northeast, where Republicans such as Grimm are an endangered species....” That’s obviously part of the problem that Mr. Grimm is wrestling with right now.
Then the article turned to another local “Republican” Peter King — YUCK ! The most relevant item about King was this observation by Millbank, “.... Off the floor, the furious lawmaker hinted in a CNN interview that he might bolt the GOP, saying that anyone in New York or New Jersey who gives money to the House Republican campaign effort ‘should have their head examined. … People in my party, they wonder why they're becoming a minority party,’ he continued. ‘They've written me off and they're going to have a hard time getting my vote’."
Well, showing how important all that was, both King and Grimm turned around and voted to re-elect Boehner as the Speaker for the American people.
Folks, Millbank is a mountebank. He loves these kinds of problems inside the Republican Party; and his solutions like those of almost all of the Mainstream Media are for the GOP to go back to the pre-Goldwater, pre-Buckley, pre-Reagan “Me-too Republicanism” of the Roosevelt Era.
The correct answer is, not for the GOP to expel or even restrict its strong social and fiscal conservative base, and its “Tea Party” members in any way, it is for the Slinky-spined congressional members, like Michael Grimm and Peter King, to fully embrace the real Republicanism of the Tea Party and the social and fiscal hardliners.
