The End of the Revolution

Karen Tumulty at TIME Magazine has a nice story on the clusterfuck that is the republican party. The End of a Revolution

Every revolution begins with the power of an idea and ends when clinging to power is the only idea left.

That's a powerful lede, but I think it's only partially true. I don't think the republican revolution was ever about ideas. It was always about power. It was never about governing or about making America a better place. It was never about creating "a more perfect union."

Let's hope the american public (the sane portion, anyway) has finally had enough.
