I could care less what Lindsey Gramnesty says.  He is the last person to talk about having the guts to do something.

I do agree with your latter comment.  Unlike Democrats that have only one driving mantra, the quest for power and control, the GOP actually has fundamental beliefs about the proper role of govt and feel compelled to vote that way.  However, unlike the monolithic Democrats there is actually a difference of opinion in the GOP about that proper role.  Hence the challenge of getting something done because they can't be bought off like Dems to vote for something (recall the Louisiana Purchase and Cornhusker Kickback) like Obamacare.  Having morals, standards of behavior and actually acting on your beliefs is never easy and so the GOP has trouble getting things done.  But voting in lock step is much easier when you have no morals, no standards of behavior and are willing to supplant your beliefs if properly "rewarded", which is the essence of the modern Democrat party.
