GOP Greatest Hits Collection! Buy the boxed set!
I hope someone is collecting the sincere and straightforward expressions of what the Republican Party is all about at its core as expressed by the various Teabagger candidates.

Besides Rand Paul wanting to do away with Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and the IRS, several other 'bagger Republicans have made some truly outlandish statements.

Sharon Angle, opposing Harry Reid in the Nevada Senate race, has called upon supporters to consider exercising their "Second Amendment remedies" and "to take out" Mr. Reid. In several speeches she has clearly implied that electing her is a last chance to avoid violent "Second Amendment" type solutions. Ms. Angle joins Mr. Paul in calling for an end to social security and most other social program and, for good measure, argues that unemployment is caused by---unemployment compensation. "Spoiled" Americans simply won't apply for jobs as long as they are paid so well by the government to remain unemployed!

And, just today, African American 'bagger Tim Scott, newly-minted Senate candidate from that bastion of rational thinking, South Carolina, speculated that maybe, just maybe, the oil leak disaster in the Gulf was not an accident, but the result of "collusion" between BP and "the government" and that they "wanted it to happen".

I'm thinking maybe a half-hour special in, say, late October, emceed by someone like Robert Redford or even a series of well-knowns, including Redford, Susan Sarandon, Bruce Springsteen, Danny Glover---I'm sure there are others who'd anxiously lend their voice and image to the cause. The program would consist entirely of these folks just introducing each video clip---who is speaking, what was the occasion, who is their Democratic opponent, etc. Then, after twenty-some minutes of watching and listening to Republicans being Republicans, close with Howard Dean briefly stating that these views are extreme and dangerous and threaten to permanently damage the fabric of our democracy.

"Don't vote your party unless you are also voting your conscience".
