"Both sides have overheated rhetoric and need to dial it down"

[grantcart]

Yep this is the cable news offering of fresh cowpie for the American people.

While the cable networks have been turning up the heat and giving unfettered access to a radical rightist/nativist movement that has gotten increasingly more beligerent and hostile the left has been trying to focus on solving problems.

And it is easily proven.

There are radical rightwingers who are providing primary challenges to standing Republicans and none are most obvious than the primary challenge to Senator McCain whose reelection is no longer considered a sure thing and in a low turnout primary could lose his seat.

The standard bearer who has been parroting every right wing talking point is now being challenged for not being radical enough. When has this ever happened before.

Senator Bennett (my distant cousin) is facing a primary challenge in Utah

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0309/20347.html

Sen. Bob Bennett (R-Utah) is not entangled in scandal, he’s never shown a hint of vulnerability and there’s no Democrat on the horizon who’s poised to knock him out of his Senate seat.

Nevertheless, he could be in jeopardy in 2010.

Bennett’s problem is the Republican primary. State Attorney General Mark Shurtleff, who won election to a third term in November with 70 percent of the vote, told POLITICO in an interview that he’s leaning toward challenging Bennett and may make an announcement as soon as this week. Many Utah Republican insiders say they expect Shurtleff to take the plunge — and if he does, Bennett could find himself in a tough race.

“It’s a very real challenge to Bennett,” said LaVarr Webb, a longtime state GOP strategist. “He could be in real trouble.”

And Shurtleff isn’t the only prospective Republican challenger. Former Juab County Attorney David Leavitt — the brother of former Utah governor and Bush administration Health and Human Services Secretary Mike Leavitt — and Mike Lee, a former legal counsel to Republican Gov. Jon Huntsman, have also been mentioned as possible candidates.

Because the primary goes through a convention process and they don't have to worry about a Democratic Party challenge they are going to take him out. But these radical right challenges in the Republican Party are having an impact on other Senators like Snowe that have become completely intimidated by America's new campaign of hate and irrationality.


The Republican Party is going through a psychotic breakdown of epic proportions. This is a one sided meltdown and Cable news shows are giving kerosene to a pyromaniac. All of you pundits who want to change the tone stop giving access to the air waves to the most batshit crazy person in the crowd. Do research, have factual based analysis and leave us the hell out of it, we have serious work to do.
