I’ve noted this before but it seems to me that the Republican Party as it has developed since the Great Depression is much more comfortable with being in the minority than the majority. They don’t want to get things done or expand the role of government in any way, so actually governing is a burden to them. Yes, they console themselves by looting the treasury for their rich benefactors, but they seem to enjoy standing on the sidelines more. Speaker Boehner is not enjoying himself. I am almost certain that he’d enjoy life much more if he could return to his role as Minority Leader. I just don’t think the conservative mind is capable of taking care of the duties of governance in any kind of competent way. What we’re witnessing from the House is no different than what we witnessed during Hurricane Katrina. Boehner is doing basically nothing to address the debt limit crisis, and what he is doing, he’s doing wrong.
