Oh those are just republicans that believe in the theory of evolution and that the planet is 4.2 billion years old.

But if Koochicrazy manages to pull off enough voter fraud and pulls out a "stunning upset victory" in Virginia, they'll ALL be teabaggers by tomorrow morning.

OK, that's not going to happen, but that IS about the depth of their convictions.

It's already a minority Party that has to depend on a combination of attempts to suppress the vote and Southern regionalism.

Just imagine how few elections Republicans will win if the party splits.

That would be awful.
