Apparently, the TEA party's NOT dead, and I'm PO'd

When will we, and for chrissakes the mainstream Repugs, end the madness and render them ineffective???!!!

I'm HIGHLY p*ssed off right now, so I'll come back and rant later after I'm sure I won't say something that I shouldn't! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Don't forget that Virginia has open primaries and Democrats came out in droves to vote against Cantor. Help get the vote out for the Democratic candidate, Trammell.

4. I hope you're right, but I'm not seeing it in the preliminary exit-polling results.

Exit-polling I've been hearing about suggests teabaggers in droves. Well, compared to mainstream Rethugs . . . the numbers also suggest there was nothing unusual in the total turn-out.

All signs seem to point to mainstream Repugs getting punked by teabaggers and not coming through on their promises that the TEA party was dead.

Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
