Serves you right, GOP, for letting the tea party, including those in congress, do all your heavy lifting.

Can you imagine if the Dems get their act together and these teabaggers give the give them a 62 point majority in the Senate! I know, I'm having a wet dream, but it sure was nice for a minute.

Ronald Reagan would not win the G.O.TeaParty nomination in today's elections, he'd be considered too liberal

Call me naive... I figure the more parties there are, the less chance of them all being in the same corporate pocket.

Fascist's have been around for a hundred years and will be around for another 100. They only difference is the flag they wrap around themselves and the minority they vilify.

It's astounding what is happening to the GOP due to the complete vacuum of real ideas at it's post 2008 election core. It's sucking in more debris than category 5 on it's way to do major damage to itself if contained and the rest of us if allowed to continue.

At least now the Democrats and Independents have a real reason to go to the polls in November. Until this wave of excellent Tea Party candidates appeared, many of us would have just held our nose and stayed home to show our anger at too much corporatism in the leadership. With the wacko's on the loose on the right, you can't let them lead a stampede.
