This has long been brewing...the rift between the "establishment" represented by Rove and Faux Noise and the teabaggers led by rushbo and hate radio. The upcoming battles in New Hampshire and South Carolina should be delicious. Not only do you have three different forces colliding here but also a bunch of big egos who have let this thing get personal. The longer Mittens has to go to spend money to smear people like Gnewt and Frothy, the more he'll piss off "movement" conservatives and make it tough to get them onboard if he's the nominee.

The delicious part is seeing the wingnuts turn on Rove...being eaten by his own!

I'd hate to see their ideal Republican. Will he be wearing American Flag armbands?

We do the same thing to ourselves all the time. Look at how often even DUers disparage President Obama. Some have come close to calling him a Republican shill, because he has done something that someone doesn't consider progressive enough. There are purists on both sides who do not tolerate any deviation from their philosophy. Do not make the mistake of thinking that this means their party is imploding. It has happened before, and will happen again. We still have a tough fight on our hands, and cannot let up.

I'm sick and tired of people claiming there's the same thing on both sides.

Republicans are evil shit-eating douchebags who seriously, and I mean seriously, can go fuck themselves.

More false equivalency bullshit.
