The Turd Way needs and loves Teabaggers. Only Teabaggers offer enough scary contrast to force decent folks to swallow their awful compromised corporate assholes who when elected will work to advance to previously unacceptable non-Teabagger right wing agenda.
The Teabaggers just allow the former right wing to play "moderate", the former center/right to be liberal, the center/left to be "socialist", and for the former left to be "fringe".
I'm sure that more than a few are hoping for new lows from the reactionary right so that a more multi-cultural Reagnisim can be the new left and that anything more liberal than that can be swept away. That is the whole game.
They aren't running away from crazy teabaggers but toward them in a non-stop effort to move the functional political spectrum to the right and kill liberalism. That is the Turd Way agenda and woe be unto anyone who breaks the illusion needed to sell this shit.
Never is the answer not to run crooks and corporate footpads, the answer is to whitewash and point out how scary the Teabagger is, get elected, and then spin and rationalize the stink rather than actually holding feet to fire which is just something to say to get over the hump rather than in any seriousness. Any and all shit is defended by "what..would you rather have (insert nutbar here)?" or "are you trying to make sure a Teabagger is elected next cycle?" and the immediate push for another compromised asshole and/or crook for the next go around.
Fuck em. You keep on keeping on. The gnashing of teeth because you won't be blindly be triangulated is hilarious. It isn't good enough that you accept it, that acceptance must be blind and silent, if not enthusiastic. Fuck em. Let them whine.
