Seriously the campaign season has ALL the ingrediants to provide some of the fascinating persona, social, and political intrigue that we've every seen in American politics.

Sorry, guess I was judging more by their looks than their actions.

Also, their priorities seem "narrow".

The word moderate is rarely used any longer in politics. According to Teabaggers you are either a Real Republican - radical right wing - or you are a RINO. There is no such thing as a moderate Republican to Teabaggers.

For a Republican to win. He will have to be a moderate to get INDY votes. INDY voters are not going to vote for a teabagger.

Democrats are hoping that the Republican party puts a teabagger candidate up there. They are praying for it. The Republican establishment knows this and would like to have a moderate win, but those pesty teabaggers are becoming a bit of a nuisance now. They are calling Newt a RINO. Hell newt is not even a moderate. If Newt is not far enough to the the right, then you have some real issues.

Romney has the best chance of winning the presidency. Please keep calling him names like RINO. That is great.

While I don't agree with their often narrow focus, I do agree with their position that their (potential) elected officials should actually represent their interests.
Shouldn't we all feel the same?

Of course don't bring up about the union thugs and left liberals who love to beat people up and/or cause disruption for the sake of disruption just because they don't a particular person speaking. Oh, and never forget the liberal who bit the finger of a Tea Party goer off. Yep, your side is so calm and non-violent. NOT! Most violence is cause and started by the libs.
