I want to cheer and scream out loud, but it's premature of course. Hopefully we can let it all explode while watching some VERY satisfying election returns next November...

PLEASE GOD!!!!! WE want OUR country back, too!!!

It's about damn time.

The last time they did this crap Facebook et al did not exist.

Insular and delusional. A rude awakening is in store, indeed it is.

They are counting on suppressing the votes of women, college kids and older minorities. They are counting on the money men, the kochs, peterson, adelson, giving them billions to buy the airwaves and support their voter suppression, so that only angry old white men can vote. These folks (Repugs) have no shame or conscience at all and don't give a flying fuck about the country or it's economy - just want to get themselves a slice and want to make sure that others don't get the same advantage.

Well said.

they have never really mastered the social network thingy. The whole tubes thing is pretty complicated, what with all that spelling and such!

No, their Achilles heel here is their absolute belief that the things that have kept them secure much of the time in recent decades will keep them safe now and going forward. Those things are the conventional media, the pulpits and the big money. Of course the usual voter suppression tactics with a heavy dose of gerrymandering are always helpful.

Still, social media is surpassing conventional media and more and more people seem to be standing up for thier right to vote. We saw what people were willing to do in order to re-elect President Obama in 2012, they are wise to this bullshit.

The GOP/Teabaggers continue to shoot themselves in the foot again and again. They take cover in their precious bubble, while out here in reality things are changing. I foresee more sights like we saw election night of 2012 when Faux News (especially Rove) just absolutely could not believe Romney lost. The look of shock on the faces of Team Romney/Ryan were priceless.

Yeah, lots more where that came from.

They have given up even trying to give the pretense to caring.

They USED to package their bullshit in a flag, the constitution, something that glossed it over.

But, they have contradicted themselves so darn much they have given up trying to put the time and effort into crafting some bullshit that gives them the pretense of a moral high ground.

But, the people of this country simply don't care enough to punish them for it.

They have to be really, REALLY bad to actually lose votes.

Keeping their base fired up, and setting themselves up for minority rule by voter suppression, election fraud, gerrymandering, and propaganda.

By coincidence, King Kongor and his pals recently played out a perfect metaphor of the Republican "victory." Kongor even uses the very same term, "epic":

I hope their reputation is forever ruined, but many Americans have short memories and my fear is that much of this will have been forgotten by next year.

there shouldn't be any need for a "grand bargain" anymore. Wow.

eom

My fear is the the rethugs will be thrown a lifeline by the corporate community that benefits so much from the current two party system.

people will still vote for the GOP and in many cases they'll win.

Gerrymandering, voter disqualification, and, and the effects of Citizens United and probably, McCutcheon vs FEC!

I wish we still had Howard Dean doing strategy for the Democratic Party.

No doubt.

... the new definition of "best" = abysmal approval ratings.

We can only hope. <fingers crossed>

And anti voting g laws

The religious right has no interest in governing unless they can impose their worldview on the rest of the nation.

The rest of the nation, however, despises their worldview.

hmmmm.

what to do, Republican Party, what to do...

the religious right scares me, as a political entity, in the same way that religious extremists in the middle east scare me - they have no qualms about destroying people or an entire nation to feed their religious delusions.

Ted Cruz and his father are, imo, no different than the kinds of religious/political leaders that have led to so much instability in other parts of the world.

The joke on Republicans, of course, is that the end game for these guys is to transfer the wealth of everyone, including so-called moderate Republicans, to these babbling idiots of Pentecostalism.

In spite of their stenographer from god telling them to get out of politics...

How ironic that the RW propaganda machine will be the force that takes down the GOP. They didn't learn their lesson from the 2012 election. They will go down in flames because they believe their own bullshit.
