Freedom Works, Glen Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Sarah Palin, et al have unleased a monster

[Gman]

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?!

[RandomThoughts]

1. heh, not as nice as having a beer with friends would be.

But I have not been out to have a beer in months.

So shrug

what can a person do...

[bushisanidiot]

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!!

[Gman]

6. They can't put that genie back without an epic battle for the GOP

and the resulting split will last for many years.

[spanone]

16. and they may just want to be kings and queens of the wackos...

[RKP5637]

3. Maybe it'll be self annihilation.

[scheming daemons]

4. I posted the same thing at almost the same time as you.....

Great minds think alike.

[Gman]

7. Of course!

[Turborama]

19. Link please? So I can K&R that one as well

:kick:

;-)

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.

[Gman]

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.

[AlinPA]

9. Yes, I would be very surprised if even a small fraction (<5%) would vote

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.

[jberryhill]

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.

[AlinPA]

20. I hope you are right, but it looks like the teabaggers and Palin have taken over the republican

party almost all over the country.

[Kalyke]

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.

[Cognitive_Resonance]

10. The GOP is well on the way to a full-blown meltdown. nt

[The Straight Story]

11. So some of the folks on the right are going to vote on principle and not for a party? (nt)

[rucky]

22. Judging from the Senate's voting record...

No.

[opihimoimoi]

12. KnR #6...:o)

The Monster has turned on its Masters....

Come, we go sing Happy w Heino

13. BWAHAHAHA!!! So much for the Republican Momentum MSM meme!

:rofl:

[hlthe2b]

14. With the possible exception of Dick Armey, I don't think they care...

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

[Gman]

23. It's where Beck, Limbaugh and Palin make their money.

[underpants]

15. Dick Armey or Haley Barbour want to have control over the money

The Party of the South didn't change overnight

[red red red]

17. They opened the doors of hell...

and will be unable to control what comes out :mad:

[SoCalDem]

21. They have bigger fish to fry..They are inciting violence against the president

The losses in November will be an extra "injustice" done to them:scared:

Their victimhood is a badge they wear proudly

[Gman]

27. They love being the victim and nobody makes a better victim than these nuts but

let's not forget just how passive aggressive that behavior really is.

[felix_numinous]

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-)

[myrna minx]

25. Who opened the hellmouth?

This is unfolding like an episode of Buffy.
