2. They're stunned I tell ya

There dinosaur brain-stems can't compute how their country went from a supposed "permanent republican majority" to a Black president born a radical socialist muslim in Kenya who can body surf. They just can't handle it, and I enjoy watching their melt-down.

3. A radical socialist? Isnt it communist fascist?

We saw this with Clinton also...they believe the white hosue is their god-given right.

5. I believe you are correct.

The Tea Party is comprised of the Bush base, those remaining 28% of the population that still loved the Bush presidency when he left office.

6. We know

7. Where'd you get 28%?

The numbers I've heard are around 15%.

In Myanmar, when they had elections in the 80s about 20% of the people voted for the military dictatorship. Right wing parties in Europe usually get 10-15% of the vote. Every country has ~20% of its citizens who are authoritarian, militant wingnuts.
