“This administration is populated by people who’ve spent their careers bashing government. They’re not just small-government conservatives—they’re Grover Norquist, strangle-it-in-the-bathtub conservatives. It’s a cognitive disconnect for them to be able to do something well in an arena that they have so derided and reviled all these years.”

More Republican self destruction

I must say I am a little confused at the idea of crippling your fellow Republican's ability to bring in federal money for state projects simply because they wrote you a letter asking for more Amtrak funding. It would seem that the opposition could then paint you as an ineffective representative and cause you to lose the seat and a part of your majority, especially if he is from a blue state.

Of course, the election is still two years away, but I can't imagine it's going to help.

DemfromCT thinks it's a sign the GOP is already having problems holding on to their fraying majority.
