Hee! Erick Erickson, a prominent jerk conservative blogger, just announced he’d work to elect Speaker Boehner’s and Senate Minority Leader McConnell’s primary opponents because he thinks they’re not fighting the ACA strongly enough. “Republican leaders in Washington, DC are signaling they will cave on the fight against Obamacare,” Erickson wrote. “GOP Leaders, by caving, are …
