3. Many of these people think they will sway independents with their intimidation...
I think it could backfire because there is just too much crazy.

4. I agree. The "crazy" is unlikely to appeal to most independents. n/t

9. Yep!
It doesn't appeal to anyone with an ounce of sense! The only ones who like this stuff are the morons who are part of it. They think they are doing the will of the american people, but most americans are turned off by their insanity, and it "WILL" come back to bite the republican party right in the butt! Dick Armey and his little band of rich people who started this mess, are not throwing them under the bus. If the republican party had any brains at all they too would be distancing themselves from these nuts, but instead of doing the right thing and condemning these insane actions by the teabaggers, they are trying to paint themselves as the "victims" and make the democrats whoa re being targeted by the morons into the bad guys! How crazy can they get? They are committing political suicide by continuing to cater to these nuts. Of course they are in a bind because they are damned if they dump them and damped if they don't, a perfect storm you could say! If they keep on supporting them, they alienate independents and any republican with an ounce of sense. If they dump the nuts, the nuts put up their own candidates and divide the republican vote.

Yes, they made this mess, now they will suffer because of it!

10. My boss (conservative Vietnam vet), and a local judge...
Both pretty good friends of mine, complain to me that the Republicans have gone crazy, and they no longer have a party. Both are advocates of single-payer, BTW.
OTOH, I do know a few "crazy" types - birthers,etc... they can't be reasoned with. They are avid Faux watchers...

6. They think that?
What are they going to do...threaten every independent voter into voting for their candidate? I can just hear the robo calls. "Hey you communistical, socialist, nazi MFer, vote for Palin, or your kid dies." Yeah, that'll work.

:crazy:

5. I think what is going to really help in November is that Democrats are finally ..
working together and doing something. What happened in Massachusetts should never happen again. Every Democrat has to wake up and be part of the team and I think this bill showed them how to do it.
