After all of their gun-toting, tri-cornered hat(e) rallies against everything Obama for the past 3+ years and the 2010 midterm elections that swept teabaggers into office nationwide (and in Congress), they STILL wind up with a Republican "moderate" for their party's nominee for their 2012 rematch against the Kenyan Socialist Alinskyite usurper! I wonder how they're going to make lemonade with those lemons?

Exactly, appeal to their fear and anger ... they are more receptive to that than to logic. JoePhilly Apr 2012 #17
