The TeaBaggers are anarchists, nearly destroying Congress, now the election/campaign protocols

[UTUSN]

Funny, I woke up thinking my theme-of-the-day would be how the Repuke candidates are destroying the election, after having destroyed Congress, and this is the first thing I see: “Justice Scalia warns that the US Supreme Court is causing the 'destruction of our democratic system'.”

It was funny when the Repuke candidates started piling into the clown car, first the sheer NUMBER of them – 17 – then the ABSURD personalities with an EGO DISEASE making them believe they were fit to be anything in society, much less President.

Then it was more fun when the TeaBagger revolution destroyed the House and CRUZ and Rand PAUL did their number on the Senate – all of them with no respect for protocol, like how it started with PALIN running across the debate stage to Vice President BIDEN to bray in his face, “Hi, Joe, can I call you Joe?!”

So now the Repuke candidates have absorbed the anarchy of the TeaBaggers: CHRISTIE learned from them how to beat up in an “acceptable” way (remember his/PAUL's shouting debacle in the 1st debate?) . TRUMP and CARSON taught them all to rebel against the Party guidelines for debates. It was just as absurd as having 17 candidates as having TEN “debates”. They are now organizing a putsch against the debates. The overall goal is TO STOP ALL QUESTIONS THEMSELVES AND NOT PARTICIPATE IN ANY SCRUTINY OF ANY KIND. Even now, when any of their lies are raised, they attack the questioner (for now, THE MEDIA) and distract and deflect the questioning.

1. It's obvious that they all

want to be dictators... a role in which truth is what they claim it to be sans data. W said he wanted that himself in the earliest days of his first round as resident making him (actually the "Cabinet"/cabal who "advised" him) proto-dictator. This is a mere extension on that theme. If we don't turn this around in this cycle we can kiss the whole democracy thing and our collective a**es good-bye.

2. Not to mention Citizens United. Our collective asses are long departed. n/t

3. I know...

I was just trying to be hopeful. But I do agree that you are right about that.

4. Going with Bush 5-4 didn't help.

Then the long continuous and uninterrupted slide toward fascism since November 22, 1963 hasn't helped, either.

5. Stop the debates? Are you referring to the attack on the media

or is there an explicit attempt to stop the debates?

7. Yesterday they were saying they are going to force the RNC to revise the structures of the debates

Picking who the moderators are, the whole shebang. Even in this most recent one they were refusing to answer questions, were deflecting and distracting with attacking "the media".

Any time their lies and histories are raised, they deflect/distract/attack-the-media. So, they are gearing up just not to answer to anybody.

8. Thanks for clarifying that - I'd missed the story.

6. Yes, they are revolutionaries, dumb ones, true, but that is what they are. nt
