If you dont move to the terrorist right of the American Taliban, if you dont agree to destroy the governments credit rating and the United States in the process, you will lose.

They do want to destroy, completely, the entire united states of america...they want to do MORE than drown it in a bathtub, they want it destroyed entirely other than defense contractors who are all multi millionaires.

These are dangerous people, I call it domestic terrorism and I think they need to be treated accordingly

That's terrifying if the GOP holds on to the House.

If, at the midterms, the extremists continue to elect more extremists or force more corporate republicans to hitch onto their agenda, we will see in the next two years the very public inability of the republicans to implement any of their policies.

Which will lead to:

Many of the republicans will get tired of always losing . . . Others will find out that Obama's agenda is not the end of the world, just as people have found out that republicans lied about gay marriage. The extremists will find it even harder to fund their campaigns.

As we approach 2016, there will be a republican panic to repudiate the extremists. The republicans may pull together to defang the teaparty in time to put up a viable candidate in 2016, but it will be ugly: hard core extremists will be even more susceptible to the violence promoted by the wingnut media.

However, this is all contingent on the economy holding up or even getting better. If the economy plunges it will give the wingnuts an incredible surge in support. and life as we know it will end.

Does this sound like a plausible scenario to you?

base and leadership. So it seems unlikely that "the republicans may pull together to defang the teaparty". It could get very ugly as they take over more and of the House seats (gerrymandering gives them a stranglehold) and the few remaining "republicans" are replaced.

Be turned over onto his back and left in the sun, on a beach covered in tar balls, in the Florida gulf.

Is that too much to ask?

And help him with our liberal love. Oh that sympathy inducing bug eyed creature, did you see the wrinkled willy pictures? They still looked just like his face. Oop I meant to say who would dare compare him to a dick? The nerve.
