The wingnuts are running the GOP

Graham’s spokesman defended his boss to reporters yesterday, claiming the senator has a “90 percent conservative voting record.” Unfortunately for Graham, that may not prevent him from being “Scozzafavaed.”

Blood in the Water

That poll yesterday showing Sen. Olympia Snowe (R-ME) vulnerable to a primary challenge from the right has one conservative PAC licking its chops.

3. Except there ain't nothing conservative about them...

They just use the word 'conservative' as a propaganda mind-f*ck spin to hide how radical and hateful and FAILED they are economically, environmentally, and socially.
