They've had their knives out for a while, that's how we got the sequester. I think they're miscalculating; all it'll take is enough business types to decide they're safer backing blue dog Democrats for the Republicans to loose the bulk of their campaign contributions and be limited to solidly red districts. Using the debt ceiling as leverage again brings us closer to that point. This is not a good omen for the Republicans.
