2. Identical methods used by the Palin obsessed Teaparty to break the GOP

I remember the hate speak, the blacklisting of reasonable Repub candidates by the Teaparty whose base was whipped into that same manic frenzy by denouncing Obama & screeching GOD GAYS &GUNZ!!
And look where our US legislature sits today because the Teaparty banked on that mob mentality and said the few key words they all wanted to hear.
The hate rhetoric was what broke the once reasonable GOP.
Buyer Beware
