Freedom Works, Glen Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Sarah Palin, et al have unleased a monster |
|
within their own GOP for the purposes of firing up the base and now they can't control it. It's now devouring their party. What probably should be at least 5 certain GOP Senate pickups very likely will not happen. It's the same in a lot of house races. Their own monster is now wreaking havoc in the GOP.
Ain't it great?!

2. Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winner! |

You're right! They played to the crazies on the far right and they have now taken over the party.
It's just a matter of time before Beck, Limbaugh, etc. start back tracking to try to put the genie back in the bottle, thus, sucking the air out of the entire conservative movement. The base will feel betrayed and they will stop coming out to vote.
MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!
Thanks, Ms. Palin!!

6. They can't put that genie back without an epic battle for the GOP |
|
and the resulting split will last for many years.

5. It is very possible that we can see NV, DE, NH, TN, PA, CO, UT, AK, FL with |
|
teabagger senators if we Democrats don't get out to vote. The republicans are fired up and no way will they vote for a Democrat.

8. I think you'd be surprised how many of the rank and file Republicans will vote for the Democrat |
|
or even skip the race or even stay home. There are a lot of really sane Republicans and they don't like what's going on in their party. They will go with the sane candidate, the Democrat if they vote at all.

9. Yes, I would be very surprised if even a small fraction (<5%) would vote |
|
Edited on Tue Sep-14-10 09:23 PM by AlinPA
for a Democrat. I don't see any of those republican candidates losing once the money rolls in from corporation and the Koch family. They can spend 50 million each on the teabagger candidates in NV, DE, NH, PA and it would be a drop in the bucket for them.

18. I spoke with some Rs outside my DE polling place |
|
All of them were Castle voters, and none would vote for Christine in the general.
There are more sane Republicans than you might think.

26. Again: TENNESSEE DOESN'T HAVE A SENATOR UP FOR ELECTION THIS YEAR! |
|
We don't even have any teabaggers as major candidates in any of our races that ARE up for election.

Beck, Limbut, Palin---are all in it for themselves. They all feed off the crazy, the dysfunctional, the chaos.

24. But all they need is a 'leader' at the top |
|
who dictates talking points to all the brainless tools, that is their system. The authoritative model only works if no one questions their version of the status quo. For now all is well because they can't scare up a leader for their party, so the morons they have put in place may just self destruct ----Yes, one can hope!!!! B-)
