This ignerant idjit is diggin' in his hooves and the runner up is balking at taking up the reins. I'm starting to pity the Muleish state, just a tich. It's looking like the hopes and fevered dreams of the tea party are going up in smoke. No Senate for those turkeys, praise the Lord and thanks for the ammunition fellas.

Yep, that and few other things, IMO. Notice as the election approaches the GOP side becomes softer on "entitlements". I've been heaing some interesting comments from the folks in my life lately. They're suddenly beginning to realize life without any social(ist) safety nets aint all the rightwing propaganda machine has it cracked up to be. My generation is getting OLD, and it isn't so easy to bitch that "old farts" need to "go out and get a job" anymore.....that the "they" is becoming "us".
Repeat after me, chilluns;, "We been spittin' in the Wind."

Fixed that Dave. No reason to soften it up for our Repub friends here.
"Whistling past the graveyard," comes to mind, too.
I have a hard time with these shitassed assertions that Medicare and SS are entitlements. Actually, it's the rightys rewriting of the definition of the word entitled that sticks in my craw. Like paying into a system and expecting the benefits when they are due and needed is somehow being an entitled, selfish and lazy slacker.

He needs to fall on his .38. I would think by now, that Romney would have sent a couple "gentlemen" to have a serious "discussion" about his staying in the race. I'm sure his arm could have been "twisted" so to speak. This is what vanity gets you. The only thing I can hope for is Biden saying something even more stupid to change the news cycle.

That's true... or it would be true if it wasn't already too late. The GOP will never do anything to alienate the fundies. If they didn't have all those priests and preachers campaigning from the pulpit they'd be in a truly sorry state.

I'd be surprised if that hadn't happened, plus some rather pointed suggestions about campaign funds and a lack of committee appointments in his future from Cornyn. The GOPers, to their credit, want this guy gone last week.

What's amusing is that he didn't say anything that didn't reflect the GOP platform or their voting record in Congress. He just demonstrated a fundamental truism - when a Tea Partier tries to speak cogently on any subject, they make complete fools of themselves, just as Sharon Angle and Christine O'Donnell did in NV and DE.
In defense of his moronic statement on abortion, today he said “We believe taking this stand is going to strengthen our country — going to strengthen, ultimately, the Republican Party. What we’re doing here is standing on a principle of what America is.” These delusional fools will ultimately spell the end of the GOP or the country, whichever comes first.
