Budget Deal : Republicans Morarlly Bankrupt?

This is depressing on so many levels I don't know where to begin, so just to keep it short and to the point, the Republicans have lost their collective way and now can be seen as just part of the pack of Washington bureaucrats, along with the progressive socialist liberal democrats, dragging out country into a financial and moral depression.

What are the rest of us down here in the trenches to do? Who can we believe is going to lead us out of this corrupt nightmare?

Are we to believe this is the new reality?
