25. I don't think anybody was listening to her.

I'll bet she felt that way since the get go. I think she probably said it to as many peope as she could. I don't like her one bit, but she isn't a stupid person. Hughes also knows her politics.

The Teashitters do not listen to anybody. The establishment GOPeas tried to deal with them on a variety of issues. We only got glimpses of it. The Teabots were and are determined to do it their way. The fiscal crap had a little bit of appeal but when they veered into social issues it was ABANDON SHIP for a lot of people listening.

I believe, and I think many GOPeas do too, that they have to learn the hard way. You will not get elected if you live on Gondwanaland. Many won't ever learn, but at least they won't be elected.
