That is not hard to do: Exhibit A Todd Akin, Rejected Thank God for US Senate from Missouri


The Establish GOP is not crazy, but it must stop tolerating crazies like this clown or it will properly be grouped as an entire bunch of crazies.

It is not hard to do when you have celebrated members such as michelle bachman, tod akin, ALLEN WEST, and other assorted members who not only are unhinged but they also are VERY LOUD and VERY OUTSPOKEN. You can argue all you like and try to twist things around but the republican party is sick and it will only continue on it's path to destruction. Go ahead and ignore me and ignore others and continue living in your little bubble but when that bubble pops and your left all alone and cold don't start crying whatever happens the republicans own it. Not that the democrats are a prize either mind you, which is why I vote green party they maybe a little loopy but at least they have principles both parties are sell outs and both are corporate owned subsidiaries.

Read my post carefully: I'm agreeing with you.

I said the Estblishment GOP is sane, but they must take the ship back from the noisy wing nuts, and have the guts to detach themselves from the wing nuts, too.

These people don't hold a candle to the nuts, cooks, Kay Kay Kay dragons, murderers of women (Kennedy) etc., in the DNC.

Now scamper back to Projection 101, cause you aren't fooling anyone (except, perhaps, yourself).

I know I didn't know you even answered I was talking to robin I whole heartedly agree with what you are saying. I also think the reason why they have gotten so extreme is because they have unlimited money coming in from corporations and other third parties. Imagine if Bachman or Allen West did not have The koch brothers backing them do you think they would even stand a chance ?

uhuhh keep hiding in your bubble and when it pops you will be left in the cold, keep towing the line for Republican LLC they care nothing for you, You will not be rich, You will not be highly successful instead YOU will be conspiring with the corrupt and the weak. YOU and many blind sheep like you are the reason we as a country are dying. I think they have a word for someone such as yourself I believe you are called a "tory" or a "loyalists"

The real problem that Republicans have it is hard to beat the GW Bush/ Barack Obama governing philosophy (more goodies largely unpaid for) popularity.

They would not, and Akin won his primary because his opponent pumped $2 mill towards his campaign. She wanted someone she could roll over..mission accomplished.

Less taxes doesnt meant supporting raising taxes on 47% of the population.

More personal freedom doesnt' mean supporting 21 and over alcohol laws or blue laws, etc... Seems more like more regulation.

agree! nor does it mean being irresponsible with the enviornment, sensible gun regulations, or lack of compassion for those who do not have the opportunity, good luck or privilege that "you" have. . .
