Playing with fire

[apples and oranges]

I don't think it's sunk in yet for some of you.

The teabagger strain of Republicanism is unlike anything I've ever seen. If one of them wins next year, he or she will not simply pivot into a rational centrist. They have every intention of fundamentally changing this country to fit their batshit insane visions.

1. We have to beat them

Christine O'Donnell's losing makes me hopeful. The Republicans learned the hard way there that a moderate can win but their ideal candidate, the extremist, cannot. At least in Delaware.

2. Yep. Winning doesn't cure crazy.

3. If the unthinkable happens, at least we'll get an antiwar movement back n/t

4. I cannot believe a teabagger could win the election. I just can't.

5. Only a person who thinks centrism is rational would fear the likes

of the current Republican field. If you have never seen Republicans like this, what can I tell you, you have not been paying attention. They have always been insane.

6. Agree

Because we might for the first time in this country's history find out what its like to live in a Theocracy.

7. Centrists aren't rational. nt
