This is their state of mind over at freeperville:You are spot on but the problem is Karl Rove, Priebus and all the rest of the GOPe bumblers will think voters turned out for their moderate stance on social issues.
------------
Its fine and dandy that Reid and Company were turned out. But now we have the second front of the war to wrap up and that is to get the upper hand on the GOPe.
They should not think even for a minute that they won by their positions on issues. They should not think this conflict with Tea Party Conservatives is over. Its just getting started.
----------
Ive been hearing anecdotal evidence that a lot of North Carolinians are steaming over what the federal court did by nullifying their vote against same-sex marriage.
That this is the biggest reason of all many of them walked over broken glass to get to the polls and vote against Obama and his puppet Kay Hagen.
And we know they had plenty of other reasons to do it.
Its just, this was so personal and so struck them as federal overreach, it was a very great motivator.
Bulletin: THAT HELPED GIVE THE MARGIN TO WIN IN NC. ANGER OVER THE FEDERAL COURT USURPATION OF THEIR STATE RIGHT TO DEFINE MARRIAGE!!!!
------------
Dems and the media are still terrified of conservatives. Mike Wallace said good news and bad, the bad was for the Tea Party who he says lost big.
Conservative news outlets need to publish exit polls if they show the number of conservatives/Tea Party or support the outcry for conservative leaders. If we dont hammer these clowns, theyre going to go back to business as usual before the majority even takes their oath.

Social Security and Medicare cut, because most of the tea baggers I know live on SS.

volunteer for a 50% wage cut if they could keep them uppity blacks, Latinos, wimmin and gays where Lily White Blue Eyed Republican Jebus wants them to be. They have struck pure Stupidium. Fear and paranoia are overriding even their desire for self-preservation.

republicans are united on everything, and that is not true. The last time they shut down the government there was a major divide within the republican party.
Just on example is Ted Cruz. He has his own agenda, as do the tea party element of the republican party, and I don't see them compromising on that agenda
