The Tea-Party, Republican Shark Jumpers

Is there any doubt but that the entire Republican Party has jumped the shark? They have gone off the deep end. It is sad to think of the type of person that would still vote for these insane and deranged people?

From cutting food stamps for the poor to talking about masturbating fetuses, they leave no stone unturned. Whether it be rape or economic matters, they know no bounds. It is embarrassing to the average person. But these folks are not average.

Their leadership has lost all control of them. Yesterday, they had a vote on the Farm Bill, which usually sails thru without much opposition, and it was an embarrassment for John Boehner and the Republican leadership. Sixty Republicans jumped ship and voted "NO" on the bill because it did not cut Food Stamps enough. It was a wonder that John Boehner did not break down and bawl right on national television.

What will they do next? And where do they get these people? Do they have a contest to see who has the lowest IQ and persuade them to run for Congress??
