...we 'effed up' when we allowed the TeaPartiers to take control of the House, and especially the States, during a Census year so that they could create so many 'safe' Rethug Districts and so few Dems. Now these a-holes think they're bullet-proof. Well if those that still think they are 'Moderates' have any sense at all they'll rally the voters to 'primary' the wingnuts of the extreme right. Surely, after all this there are enough 'reasonable' Repugs left to salvage something of a Party...not that I give a damn if they survive at all, but the 'primary' knife ought to be able to cut both ways.
