Bold Teabaggers In Congress Feel Totally Safe In Their Gerrymandered Districts.

They are invincible in their districts because the electoral balance overwhelmingly allows them to win by up to 10 or 15 percent margins. Other GOPPERS are terrified of primaries because even if they win them against the teabaggers they are weakened in the general election. Generally the GOP believes it has the House indefinitely because of money, election fraud and media.

With so much RW media propaganda and radio, these super red districts here only one message. When it come to Speaker Boehner it is a profile in cowardice. He is protecting a position he may well lose anyway. And when the GOP is not right enough now does the teabag movement support jailing or shooting the disadvantaged or something. How far right is right enough for these people.

And what end game agenda for them? We can only speculate how they would rule. But we can make educated guesses.

most ineffective and useless speaker in my lifetime. In fact the oompa loompa may go down as the most useless speaker in the history of Congress.

I really don't know what the endgame is for the GOP, they have the gerrymandered Congressional districts but this brinkmanship idiocy isn't going to help them with either the Senate or the Presidency.

They seem to be under the Fox News Rush Limbaugh cloud of delusion and think they actually have some sort of majority support.
