Don't be fooled. The GOP and the Tea Party are one in the same
Each and every democrat needs to show up at the polls to support democratic candidates.

The GOP marches in LOCKSTEP. They may talk a lot of shit about the Tea Party candidates, but you know, as well as I, that they will throw their full support behind them.

Regardless of what they are saying right now, or said last night. Or this morning.

This election is all about POWER. Who lose it, who will gain it, who will keep it, and who will use it to destroy Barack Obama.

6. meaning what?
that you will sit out the election?

that you won't support your state/district candidates?

that you want to help the GOP regain the house? Senate?

what's your point?

no one is asking "you" to march in lockstep.

I'm asking you to support your party's nominees.

there is a difference, you know.

11. I will vote for candidates that meet my standards.
#1 on this list is no bigots. I refuse to vote for any more, and I don't care if they have a "D" by their names.

14. He's saying Obama's a bigot and he's not going to vote for him.
The fact that he's marching to the same beat as the teabaggers and the GOP is purely coincidence.

They won't win unless there's some hefty election tampering/fraud.

26. Nuh uh!
They just haven't found any candidates among the Democrats, that's all. Just because every last one of their candidates is a Republican, they're not an adjunct or an offshoot of the Republican party, so stop saying that!

33. Your right.
I do love how pissed the repukes are, but they will eventually support these morons rather than have a dem come in. We still need to vote and keep these psychos out of congress.
