Coulter says women shouldn't vote.

OTOH, this could be a nightmare. Imagine those two with unlimited airtime, making the rounds of the entire country.

Additionally, they need to keep running candidates extolling the virtues of rape ... the electorate really responds well.

If they run a pure Tea party slate, it will be the beginning of a 1000 year Tea Party Reich.

Sure hope they don't figure this out.

They need to stick to the purest of conservative principles and purge their party of any that disagree.

Even ordinary voters should be publicly shamed if they espouse heresy. It is incumbent on the Party Faithful to enforce ideological conformity at all times and at all costs.

Wed Nov 7, 2012, 09:51 PM
Nov 2012

in 2013 and marry #4. She will be a 25 yo college grad student, writing a thesis on Newt and the re-awaking of conservative politic in USA. Kinda similar to the Jack Welch wife dump. By 2014, he will have deluded himself into thinking everyone has forgotten all of his negatives. (He will see wife #4 as a "positive".) Will be a ton-of-fun.

There's another federal election in two years.

We did not win the House because liberals didn't show up in 2010. That let Republicans gerrymander themselves a majority.

We should stop making that mistake.

The people are ready to move that way. Great progress was made last night on the ballot initiatives. I would prefer a new repub party, or a new center right party and the Dems to become more liberal, more progressive.

Imagine a two party system where marriage equality is not fought over and climate change is acknowledged by both.

especially if they really believe there's really no such thing, or that it nevers ends in pregnancy, or that abortion after rape should be outlawed.

Please, please, please, tell us more about what you think about that...

Christie will either be denied nomination by them or will be pushed so far to the right that he will be un-electable. Rubio is far right, but once his ethical stains become common knowledge, he will lose to any solid democrat. There is no one else of substance on their bench.
