They've literally devolved to "if i can't have it my way no one can have anything" and if that doesn't deserve an immediate removal I don't know what does.
If they were actually standing for an injustice or resisting because they had majority but were being filibustered and/or vetoed repeatedly they'd have a point, but they're doing more or less the exact opposite. They're rightly being denied their way and extorting to try to force capitulation. It's just sick. At least when Wendy Davis fillibustered Texas semi-successfully (and had it go through the second time anyway) she was doing it to keep rights not to try to force the government to take them like these idiots are.
Both Wendy Davis and Ted Cruz only did the fillibustered for political purposes, they both knew they would lose and did it to get recognition. Simple as that.
As for the CR, it goes both ways, it is also sick the democrats refuse to pass the small funding measures. You forget to take into account that Republicans BELIEVE they are standing for an injustice, which even now a little less than half the county agrees with them. Right now (SOME) republicans have the mindset that congress shouldn't get those special benefits of a 72% subsidy, don't like the medical taxes, etc. Others really don't know what to do and are stuck in between a rock and a hard place.
Believe it or not Republicans believe they are winning this argument. In some case they are right, the numbers are actually really in their favor consider all the factors.
