In reply to the discussion: FRUM: Vote out Obama ---or else "Republicans will go completely ape and destroy the country." [View all]KharmaTrain
(31,706 posts)13. The "Establishment's" Last Stand...
The natives have been restless and a Willard loss on Tuesday will make an ugly mess that is the rushpublican party even uglier...and it's a train headed right over Willard's warm corpse and all remaining "moderates" in the party. Frump's fear is he's about to be completely without a party...a "moderate" (yes, David...we remember you being a chickenhawk) in a party of extremes and on the losing side.
The teabaggers will blame the establishment as not being "conservative" enough while the "moderates" will blame the teabaggers for losing the Senate (Murdouck & Akin) and so it will go and who knows who will come out ahead. My hopes is the infighting lasts well into 2016 and their obstructionist games cost them in 2014.

This is just (barely) a little lower than the white fat boy militias starting an insurrection.

"Vote for us and we'll stop shooting hostages" It's the only logical reason to vote for Republicans

Yes, let's give screaming 5-yr-olds everything they want -- that always works out so well later.
