‘GOP congressmen under reign of terror’

Axelrod reiterated that the Republican congressmen are increasingly under the control of the party’s ultra-conservative wing that has also pushed the bloc’s presidential candidate Mitt Romney to the far right.

“I think there are a lot of Republicans in Congress who want to cooperate … but they’re in the thralls of this reign of terror from the far right that has dragged the party to the right,” he told the CNN news channel.

“Governor Romney and the party have gone way off to the right,” he added.

“People don’t know Mitt Romney very well. They see a businessman. They hope he has new ideas. When they find out what his ideas are, slashing taxes at the top for the very wealthy … they’re going to think, ‘This is very familiar. We’ve tried this. This was a big failure.'”

This is while the Republican contender leads Obama in a Gallup poll conducted between April 11 and April 15. According to the poll, Romney took 47 percent of support from the surveyed registered voters, while Obama took 45.
