So are ReTHUGs formally divided these days

Rubio is the official spokesman for the ReTHUG party responding to the President and Rand Paul is the official spokesman for the Teabaggers?
Aren't they both ReTHUG Senators?

These scumbags are sick!!

It would seem they would want to draw a line, before this gets even more out of hand.

Remember when Bachmann did her goofy Teabagger reply (looking off camera) a couple years ago?



This has become an ego game...Randy thinks he's the heir to some great legacy...marrying the teabaggers with the Paulbots and in his narrow world this makes him some kind of "shadow" President. Rubio's the latest "we're not really racist, really" pretty boy for the establishment still trying to spread the "compassionate conservative" bullshit around. There's a lot of hype inside the beltway but a majority of Americans...especially Hispanics...look right through Rubio and see his puppetmasters. A new face on a bag of shit is still a bag of shit...

Crist - so we have two baggers replying this year. Of course the pathological LIAR from Florida is trying real hard to be the 'establishment' candidate now. I can't wait for both of them - do you remember lil Bobby Jindal's reply? That was comedy gold.
