Like spoiled children the remaining two Republicans quit bipartisan budget talks.
Majority Leader, Eric Cantor, and Senator, Jon Kyl, the last two GOP members, left the Biden chaired budget negotiations.
But this is not the first time Republicans have quit.
Because things weren’t going his way, Senator Tom Coburn, left the Gang of Six. Sarah Palin continues to quit everything she starts, more recently her big bus vacation. And Republicans have, over and over, abandoned positions they had previously supported as soon as the Democrats or Obama endorse them, even if they’re good for the nation.
This time, the consequences may be more serious—the results far more devastating.
Why, when negotiations reach critical points, do Republicans take their ball and head home?
