After all, it was great sport watching their uninhibited brethren strap on a side arm, foist treasonous signage, and engage in hate speech in front of the post office. Fed a steady red meat diet of guns, god and bigotry, these crazies cannot but help work themselves into a froth in any place at any time, including the Senate floor.<br /><br />They are wing nuts on steroids and the Republicans unwittingly created a political monster. Teabaggers are like zombies, they eat their own. Gerrymandered districts created a critical nut mass of tea. All the tea mass needs is an incumbent who fails the litmus test of political bafoonery, a little money, and 5% of the eligible voters to throw out the Tino (Tea in name only).<br /><br />I vote Tea in primaries to punish the republicans for all their sins. Have a nice day.<br /><br /> <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-14339457404426740852013-10-26T16:21:59.861-05:002013-10-26T16:21:59.861-05:00 That could also be applied with Dubya as step 1 ...

I wrote to him in opposition to the bill and received a snotty response bemoaning the irresponsibility of debtors. In essence he thought that the little people needed to be taught a harsh lesson in financial responsibility, but the big banks, not so much.<br /><br />One thing you can say about Herb Kohl is that he was never a traitor to his class.Garethnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-86175722024057903842013-10-26T10:17:41.062-05:002013-10-26T10:17:41.062-05:00This anon is scary -- he seems to agree that she i...This anon is scary -- he seems to agree that she is a flawed candidate and then proclaims "she knows exactly what she's doing."<br /><br />That is EXACTLY why I would like to see her step aside or lose a primary.<br /><br />But I don't see how the progressives best-choice will be given a chance by that rotten mike tate's democratic party of Wisconsin.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-1460602151065692022013-10-26T10:15:45.579-05:002013-10-26T10:15:45.579-05:00Gareth, you mean like that "nobody's sena...Gareth, you mean like that "nobody's senator but yours" crap from herbie kohl?<br /><br />Man, did that act get old and he was entirely a do-nothing.
