High Teabaggery in California?

noreply@blogger.com (Comrade Heraclytus) — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 21:00:00 +0000

A Teabagging Call to Arms has been issued. Is VICTORY within sight?

The [California] GOP Senate race was even more wide open, with 7 in 10 voters saying they knew too little to have an impression about [Carly] Fiorina, the former Hewlett-Packard chief executive, or [Chuck] DeVore, a conservative assemblyman from Irvine.

In a head-to-head matchup, DeVore and Fiorina each won the support of 27% of Republican primary voters. But given the fresh nature of the race -- Fiorina announced her candidacy last week -- neither candidate is yet dominating in areas they have tried to stake out.

Fiorina has gone after women voters, but, like Whitman [a female candidate for Governor], was running better among men.

DeVore has hammered Fiorina as being a tool of party moderates, but she was doing about as well as he among his conservative targets.

So far Devore the Teabag Candidate, is tied in the polls with the establishment candidate, Fiorina. We’ll see how well crazy + conservative plays in California. With the wingnut-O-sphere on board, we can be guaranteed a zany mad capped ride full of capers from the usual suspects.

Call me crazy, but I don’t see anyway that High Teabaggery helps the GOP in California.

Wingnut of the Week:

noreply@blogger.com (Comrade Heraclytus) — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 20:15:00 +0000

The people who want to kill you are not Tea Party protesters or accountants from Saranac Lake, N.Y. They're not Kentucky populists or Belgian radicals.

Anyone who wants to distract you from real dangers by telling you to fear this week's pet bogeyman -- global warming! creationists! Ron Paul! -- is not your friend. They are fools and liars who cannot be trusted. They are objectively evil

~ R Stacy McCain, calling out domestic Islamic terrorism as the Number 1 threat you face and not the tea bag types that shot the cops in Pittsburgh, killed the church goers in Tennessee or killed a security guard at the Holocaust Museum.

Call me evil because I think McCain is full of shit.

There is no reason why law enforcement cannot continue to go after those who would engage in acts of terrorism. It is hard to believe that just because global warming is in the news, the cops are going to stop doing their jobs. Conspiracy to commit a terrorist act is a crime, you know.

How you catch a lone wolf is a problem. We all wish that the Army caught this Hasan caught before his terrorism at Fort Hood. Apparently there were signs and they need to figure out why nothing was done.

What we do know is that Fear is the currency that wingnuts such as McCain, an apparent a white supremacist, trade in. When you are afraid, the wingers get jacked up.

Remember, McCain is not offering any solutions to terrorism other than, perhaps, shock and awe and perhaps his tired Neo-confederate shtick. However since Hasan was home grown from Virginia, I don’t think bombing the Old Dominion will solve the problem. And since the South lost the civil war, making sure people stay in their assigned places, ain’t going to work in today’s multi-ethnic and multi-religious society.

So this means that all he’s got is fear and nothing but fear to work with.

If we run around in fear, who wins?

Comparing Obama’s Victory in 2008 with the victory by Republican Candidates in the Virginia and NJ governors’ races:

November ’08 was one-shot, one-time, never to be replicated. Nor was November ’09 a realignment. It was a return to the norm — and definitive confirmation that 2008 was one of the great flukes in American political history.
~ Charles Krauthammer, NRO editorial.

Now if the 2008 near landslide electoral victory for Obama (along with Dems picking up 50+ seats in the house in 06 and 08, presumably too) was a fluke, what caused it?

Would it not be reasonable to assume, that if 2008 was a one time shot, the cause of this beat down was that voters were fed up with the catastrophic governance advocated by the Krauthammer and implemented by George Bush and his republican enablers on Capital Hill?

So if 2008 was the greatest fluke in American political history, isn't it the fault of people like Krauthammer?

Just saying.

RED ALERT - RED ALERT – RED ALERT

noreply@blogger.com (Comrade Heraclytus) — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 14:15:00 +0000

People if you think the wingers out there can’t get any crazier, check out the headline of the Day:

Chrysler to unveil 5-year plan

Know who else was into 5 year plans. Stalin and other assortments of Commies!

Obama bailed out the Car Companies to prevent their collapse. A Car Company that was saved from ruin is naming its recovery plan the 5 year plan. Stalin also implemented 5 year plans in Russia for economic development. Hmm. O.M.G. Do you know what this means people: Wingnut Field Day.

What crazy meme will emerge?

Could it be that Chrysler is doomed to the dustbin of history? Nah. Or perhaps it will be that this is a sign of

America

’s slow descent into Socialism. Maybe crazy wingnuts will riff on this headline to posit that this 5 year plan from Chrysler proves that Obama is just like Stalin.

Could secret interment camps be just around the corner? Now that Sarah Palin has cut and run from Alaska, who is left to protect us from a string of Alaskan Gulags?

Serious stuff people.

RED ALERT - RED ALERT – RED ALERT

Quote of the Day III:

noreply@blogger.com (Comrade Heraclytus) — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 21:15:00 +0000

At her confirmation hearing this past July, now-Justice Sonia Sotomayor exasperated and disgusted many of her supporters on the Left by attempting to disguise herself as a judicial conservative.
[...]
If the White House, near the peak of Obama’s popularity, chose to try to play things safe by casting Sotomayor as a judicial conservative, how probable is it that the White House would take a more aggressive approach in advance of the 2010 midterm elections, which now look markedly more threatening to Democrats than they previously did?
~ Ed Whelan, The Corner

Of course, Sotomayor’s Judge Roberts Routine really pissed off folks on the Right as well, like …. say, Big Ed.

I found the double standard rather amusing.

When Judge Roberts pulled all the B.S. about just calling balls and strikes from the bench, it was deemed good. When Sotomayor used the same shtick, it was deemed bad. Who knew?

The moral of the story is that whoever Obama appoints to the High Court next is going to be subject to a shit load of bizarre charges. We could have allegations of Radical Transnationalism, Racism, Eco-terrorism or of being Anti-Jesus but Pro Allah when the next Supreme Court Justice is nominated but these have already been used up.

I have a feeling the wingers are going to cook up something truly crazy beyond speculation for the next nominee.

More Guillotines in the Future?

noreply@blogger.com (Comrade Heraclytus) — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 15:45:00 +0000

But the Wingnut Jacobins may not be done yet as further conquests are imagined:

Revved up by the purge in New York, tea partiers across the nation are now salivating—did you happen to see Zombieland?—as they eagerly search for other prey. They already have a list of RINOs (Republicans in name only) to hunt. On their to-get list is Charlie Crist, the Republican governor in Florida, who's running for the Senate. Marco Rubio, a conservative former state senator, is challenging him for the GOP nomination. Also in the crosshairs for conservatives are Republican Rep. Mark Kirk, who is seeking Obama's old Senate seat in Illinois, and possibly incumbent Republican Sen. Robert Bennett in Utah. Bennett's being opposed in the GOP primary by a conservative activist who has Joseph Wurzelbacher, better known as Joe the Plumber, campaigning for her. Diehard conservatives—their blood lust heightened—seem to be adding names to their execution wish list almost daily. ~ Link

Not ready to put the Guillotines away yet, I see. And Justice and Purity require that blame be foisted upon someone for this debacle. Gingrich anybody?

The Tent Keeps Getting Smaller

noreply@blogger.com (Comrade Heraclytus) — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 15:30:00 +0000

As Prince Hoffman, Wingnut Extraordinaire for Congress, went down in flames securing the congressional seat for the Democrats for the first time since the civil war, some saw this defeat as a Victory

First, the GOP now must recognize it will either lose without conservatives or will win with conservatives. In 2008, many conservatives sat home instead of voting for John McCain. Now, in NY-23, conservatives rallied and destroyed the Republican candidate the establishment chose.

Erick “GF” Erickson, Wingnutopian Agitator at Red State Blog

Wouldn’t the opposite also be true. Suppose the GOP nominates Sarah Palin and Joe the Plumber for President in 2012 and the Fringe gets its way. How many republican moderates will stay home or vote Democratic? How many more independents will go Democratic?

Snatching Defeat from the Jaws of Victory

noreply@blogger.com (Comrade Heraclytus) — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 14:45:00 +0000

In what should have been an easy roll to VICTORY in NY-23, the district is heavily rural, military dependent and republican, instead we saw a soap opera of Sarah Palin-esque Proportions.

First there was the Republican Candidate of the Old Guard sure to cruise to victory, that is until she was attacked by Base elements from within the party, stabbed in the back and torn down by the Mob.

Then there was the carpetbagger replacement, the handpicked darling of the Jacobin Mob, Prince Hoffman, whose ascendancy was certain as he promised ideological purity to the people of the province. Of course ideological purity, includes sending no pork homeward from the Federal City to the pork dependent provincials. This caused a grave dilemma to arise leading those within the Old Guard to turn against the Darling Prince and his Base band of foreign wingnutopian agitators.

And thus the Grand Old Party, ruler of the Province for 140 years, fell to civil war allowing some Democrat that nobody has ever heard of to March to VICTORY.

So with last night’s clusterfuck in NY, one would expect to hear recriminations called against those of the Old Guard and toward those Base elements within the Party.

Specifically, I was expecting another call for Newt Gingrich’s head. There is plenty of time yet.

A Gilded Age Tragedy?

noreply@blogger.com (Comrade Heraclytus) — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 20:45:00 +0000

Cry me a river.

Country Clubs feeling the effects of the Great Bush Bust:

Residential homes aren't the only ones falling victim to foreclosure. Country clubs are feeling the pain of recession as well, with many struggling to survive.

Dozens of country clubs are in foreclosure, reports BusinessWeek. And up to 15% of the remaining ones report serious financial problems.

So far, the elite clubs that cater to the ultra-rich are generally staying afloat. It's the mid- to lower- level clubs that can't make payments.

[…]

Experts tell the magazine that between 400 and 1,000 country clubs may have to close or open to public play.

"The whole country club model is at risk," said one.

There are a number of reasons for the slide at clubs, starting with the down economy. It's also harder now to deduct club dues on your taxes. And some companies may feel pressure not to award employees with pricey country club memberships.

Ironic, huh?

An educated guess tells me that the country club types were probably the strongest Bush supporters in 2000 and 2004. Seems only apropos that the consequences of George’s Tragic Reign of Error hit them as well.

Let them open their courses to the ~~riff raff~~ public.

"I'm speaking. I've got the remarks. Figure it out."
Sarah Palin upon being told that she would not be allowed to give a concession speech on election night.

I heard it got even worse when Sarah was later told that not only was she not permitted to address the crowd, she’d have to sit at the kids table during the consolation banquet that night, too.

But things are sure to be looking better for Sarah these days with all the coin she has pocketed since trading public service for the wingnut welfare circuit.

Gingrich shows contrition to Jacobins for his lack of Fealty?

noreply@blogger.com (Comrade Heraclytus) — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 20:30:00 +0000

What’s the latest move by Newt to pacify the mob after his choosen candidate bolts and joins the Dems? Why it is to condemn her!

Scozzafava's decision infuriated Republicans who had stuck with her, including former House Speaker Newt Gingrich.

He told the AP that he was disappointed and "deeply upset."

"How could she have accepted all that support?" he said, adding later, "I'm very, very let down because she told everybody she was a Republican, and she said she was a loyal Republican."

Gingrich now backs Hoffman -- who had sought the Republican nomination, joining the Conservative ticket after his bid failed.

Let me get this straight after betraying the principles of the “conservative movement” and he thinks he can issue a single condemnation and get right with the Wingnutopian Jacobins.

Outrageous!

Newt is well known for encouraging ad hominim attacks against his opponents. For instance, instead of debating conservative ideas, he encourages demonizing the opposition as:

bizaare, corrupt, disgraced, pathetic, radical, intolerant, traitors, incompent, sick, shallow, and obsolete.

This is well known. What is to say that he did not use the same slurs against Doug Hoffman, the Wingnut Candidate for Congress? Can’t say, but it is consistent with his character to have made these slurs. There is just two much disloyalty from Newt here to move on.

No, I say Newt cannot be let off with a single act of contrition to the mob. He should have to grovel to keep his head. Or better yet, he should do some community service to the wingnutopian movement. How about serving as Sarah Palin’s spokesperson to translate he mangled syntax and explain why she didn’t show at the latest GOP gathering despite having given her word to do so?

Newt should agree to at least two years of community service, cleaning up after Sarah. It is only fair after his shamefull disloyalty.

Alternately, Newt, the Jacobins have been known to use the guillotine.

Sair ə Gédd’n one step closer as Wingnuts brace for VICTORY in NY-23

Word on the street has it that hard core teabag enthusiasts, aka Wingnuts, are currently plotting an assault on the ~~Bastille~~ RNC HQ to celebrate after victory in the New York Special election tomorrow.

Internet chatter raises the interesting possibility for two new additions to the guillotine list, Comrade Karl and Comrade Instapundit.

Hmmm.

The revolt of the unwashed, unhinged, unrepentant and unreconstructed (RS McCain, I'm talking about you) and is getting more interesting.

Purge Watch - Prominent Republicans into Hiding?

noreply@blogger.com (Comrade Heraclytus) — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 03:00:00 +0000

The wingnuts are on the war path and they want blood. They got one radical liberal Republican in Dede Scozzafava, but they want more.

Earlier I warned Newt Gingrinch to head the an undisclosed location and avoid any folks bearing pitchforks. Fortunately for Newt, he reads this blog and was on last report headed deep into a blue state.

But there are others in the cross hairs of mob. Lets check out others targeted on the guillotine list:

It has been 24 hours since Dede Scozzafava dropped out of NY-23 and neither Pete Session nor any of his loyal lieutenants have lost their jobs or quit to save face.
Until that happens, there will be no real sign that they get it. Without heads rolling we cannot roll on to victory.
Sadly, it is that simple.

Yep, the wingnuts are running rampant and they want heads to roll. Newt is not enough. The far right Pete Session is next for the Jacobin Wingnuts.

My advice to streaky Pete is to get out of Dodge. Do not trust anyone until you reach the blue Pacific.

Jacobin Wingnuts Call for Purge and More?

noreply@blogger.com (Comrade Heraclytus) — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 03:45:00 +0000

Not good news for Newt Gingrich. The mob is infuriated and they are looking at him:

Take Newt's endorsement of Dede. Out back. Ventilate the endorsement with your weapon of choice.
Having some bozo who claims to be smarter than you decide who goes on the ballot should induce a chorus of vomiting from All Real Americans. The river of bile hasn't quite been the GOP-cleansing flood for which one would hope, but the direction of the level over time goes up up up.

Sounds like the crazies are getting the Guillotine ready, Newt. Be on guard.

Jefferson Beauregard Sessions, the Third, is skulking about and up to no good again

noreply@blogger.com (Comrade Heraclytus) — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 20:30:00 +0000

Word has hit Red State Blog that J.B. Sessions III (R-AL), who was last seen besmirching the honor of a lady of upstanding character and a nominee to the high court, is yet again up to no good.

This time his attention is directed at Barack Obama’s nominee to the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals, the Honorable David Hamilton.

Just what is J.B. Sessions, III, in an uproar about, you may inquire?

Why, it seems J.B. Sessions, III, has bought into the wingnut meme that the Honorable Judge Hamilton is Pro-Allah, but Anti-Jesus! Jefferson can’t be so stupid to have fallen for the old Pro-Allah/Anti-Jesus ruse, could he?

Holy Hay Seuss, it looks like he has fallen for it hook, line and sinker as he has put out the call for a filibuster against the Honorable Judge Hamilton.

I ask you, what has the world come to now? Why, just a year or two ago I heard many a Republican declare that filibustering a Judge was a satanic practice. Now it seems that Jefferson Beauregard Sessions, III, has strayed from the path of righteousness and moved into the darkness.

We can only hope and pray that Jefferson sees the error of his ways and reforms.

Number of the Day - 18%

What percentage of Americans blame Obama for the great Bush Bust, i.e., the econo-cylpse?

A startling 18% of the public blame Obama for the state of the economy, according to a Foxnews poll, while 58% blame Bush for the Great Bush Bust.

You'd think the spread between the two would be higher here, but it is a Foxnews poll after all.

I have a feeling that people will be blaming Bush for the things that broke on his watch for years to come.

A rising TIDE lifts all BOATS and it looks like we’re gonna need a lot of them, too

noreply@blogger.com (Comrade Heraclytus) — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 18:00:00 +0000

Last week climate contrarian Bjorn Lomborg published an exceedingly lame article on the WSJ Online, arguing in favor of or against….…… I am not sure. Let’s let him tell you.

Global warming is a serious challenge that has captured the world's attention. But in the areas that will be worst hit by climate change, what do locals value and want prioritized?

The tiny island nation of Vanuatu speaks with a big voice on global warming, calling for larger countries to make immediate carbon cuts.

In a warning often repeated by environmental campaigners, the Vanuatuan president told the United Nations that entire island nations could be submerged. "If such a tragedy does happen," he said, "then the United Nations and its members would have failed in their first and most basic duty to a member nation and its innocent people."

Torethy Frank, a 39-year-old woman carving out a subsistence lifestyle on Vanuatu's Nguna Island, is one of those "innocent people." Yet, she has never heard of the problem that her government rates as a top priority. "What is global warming?" she asks a researcher for the Copenhagen Consensus Center. [em-mine]

Ms. Frank has more immediate concerns—problems that are not spoken about on the world stage, and that do not attract the attention of the media or environmental advocates.

[…]

Torethy's life would not be transformed by foreign countries making immediate carbon cuts.

What would change her life? Having a boat in the village to use for fishing, transporting goods to sell, and to get to hospital in emergencies. She doesn't want more aid money because, "there is too much corruption in the government and it goes in people's pockets," but she would like microfinance schemes instead. "Give the money directly to the people for businesses so we can support ourselves without having to rely on the government."

Vanuatu's politicians speak with a loud voice on the world stage. But the inhabitants of Vanuatu, like Torethy Frank, tell a very different story.

Let me get this straight.

Extremely poor subsistence farmers on pacific islands who had never heard of global warming before partly because there are no schools have a really difficult existence. This sounds true.

Further climate skeptic Lomborg notes, if you ask an Islander eking out a subsistence lifestyle of fishing and gathering, what is more important to her, a boat or carbon credits on rich countries, she’ll take the boat every time. So what’s all the fuss about? Concluding with the mother of all false choices, Lomborg then suggest that maybe this global warming thing ain’t such a big deal after all if what the common folk really want is boats. Priceless.

Well we better give’em boats, because if this all we do about rising sea levels they are gonna a shit load of them. Welcome to Waterworld folks, where Waterworld isn’t just a bad Kevin Costner movie, its some people's solution to rising sea levels too.

I have a better suggestion. Wouldn’t boats today, and land tomorrow be a better answer? What a beautifully pointless article. Oh, well. It is the WSJ and their standards are in free fall so you shouldn’t expect much.

Ordinarily, one would think such vacuity should go without much agreement on the wingnut-O-sphere. But that is what the Chamber of Commerce Blog is for.

Presumably, according to the Chamber, the free market will supply the solution to rising sea levels by matching Boat Supply to Boat Demand. You see in places where there is high boat demand, like say on an island slowly submerging below the waves, the supply of Boats will automatic increase to meet demand at an optimum price point. The magic of the market place should reassure Pacific Islanders that all will be well and not worry about these carbon credits and such. Awesome! Problem solved?

Don’t worry, the Chamber’s got you back.

"Sarah and Oprah. On the one hand, a very powerful woman qualified to be President of the United States, and on the other hand, you have Sarah." ~ David Letterman

Time for Sarahgedden to step up her game in her feud with Letterman.

She’s already accused Letterman of wanting unspeaking acts to occur between her 14 year old daughter and A-Rod. She really needs to come up with something better and soon. And it better be really outrageous, but bold and decisive.

Otherwise her weakness will be seen as an act of appeasement, just like what Neville Chamberlain did with Saddam Hussein or Ahmadinejad or who ever it was. Quick action is required before Sarah emboldens Letterman any further.

Future Headline at the NRO?

noreply@blogger.com (Comrade Heraclytus) — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 16:00:00 +0000

Well not precisely. The actual headline is:

7 in 10 Americans think Sarah Palin is not qualified to be President.

Obvious conclusion, considering that Sarah is not qualified to run a Walmart in Wasillia, but the problem is that at the NRO these two headlines could be for the same story.

George W Bush the Great! W.T.F?

noreply@blogger.com (Comrade Heraclytus) — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 12:30:00 +0000

News is out that George Bush has landed a job as a Motivational Speaker.

At first glance this seems odd. Who is going to pay to receive a lecture about the dangers of gay marriage, the economic panacea of tax cuts and deregulation and the need to get Saddam before he got us first? But there may be something to this.

Quote of the Day:

"Nation, I think history will judge that George W. Bush was a great motivator. After all, he motivated millions to vote for Obama."

Stephen Colbert

Maybe Bush is on to something here. He has motivated folks in the past to do good works. It is possible he could do it again. Then again, odds are that he'll screw this up as well.

Bloodletting to Come..... Newt soon to be on the Run?

noreply@blogger.com (Comrade Heraclytus) — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 20:30:00 +0000

And then they came for Poor Newt Gingrich.

Newt defends himself against charges of disloyalty by the Right Wing Jacobins:

“This idea that we’re suddenly going to establish litmus tests and all across the country we’re going to purge the party of anybody who doesn’t agree with us 100 percent; that guarantees Obama’s reelection, that guarantees Pelosi as Speaker-for-life,” he told Fox News last night [em-mine].
Gingrich called Scozzafava a “liberal Republican” for her support of gay marriage and abortion rights. But he defended those positions as in-step with her district and her predecessor, former Rep. John McHugh (R-N.Y.), who was tapped to be President Barack Obama’s Army Secretary.

In response Right Wing Blogger Michelle Malkin suggests that, yes indeed, a purge of the insufficient pure from the Grand Old Party is exactly what may be needed. (Hint: She was talking about you, Newt).

Stay Clear of Guillotines, Newt. These people are bats.

The circle comes full…..

noreply@blogger.com (Comrade Heraclytus) — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 19:00:00 +0000

In an Interview of just 8 months ago, Newt Gingrich, the disgraced Former Speaker of the House, grappled with the absurd question of which of the historical actors of the Revolutionary Period he most resembled.

When the notorious rabble rouser compared himself to Ben Franklin, the sane among us (hint: me) noted that Newt was way off base. Actually of the historical figures of that age, Newt compares more favorably as a Jacobin as I named 3 notorious figures from the French Revolution as likely candidates for a Newt comparison: Marat, Danton or Robespierre.

Well now we can put any debate to rest as right wing loons target poor old Newt as a RINO for insufficient loyalty to the cause. Seems that Newt has committed the transgression of supporting the GOP candidate, Dede Scozzafava, in a special election rather than the wingnut candidate. And now Newt’s formerly loyal Nutters have turned on Poor Newt. This makes the answer, to which revolutionary character Newt most resembles quite easy. It is………………. Robespierre! Sorry Newt, you don’t get Ben.

Let’s listen to one of the anti-Newt jacobin loons imagining an Administration run by President Newt:

"Picture the cabinet: Al Sharpton as education secretary. Scozzafava as labor secretary. Al Gore as global warming czar. Noooooo, thanks." she says. According to Malkin, "the conservative base is wising up and pushing back," and it won't need Gingrich's services to retake the party. "Constantly invoking Reagan isn't going to erase the damage Gingrich has done to his brand over the years by wavering on core issues and teaming up with some of the Left's biggest clowns." Michele Malkin.

Sounds like someone is off her meds again. Not to be out done, right wing blogger Robert Stacy McCain, a white supremacist according to some, declares Newt “Increasingly Irrelevant.” And then he takes this swipe at poor old Newt:

I was disgusted just now to see Newt Gingrich's appearance on Greta Van Susteren's Fox News show tonight, when he hit Doug Hoffman [the wingnut candidate] with a cheap shot, saying Hoffman "doesn't live in the [23rd] District. (Hey, ask some Georgians if Newt has any room to talk about carpetbagging!)

Ha, Newt the Carpetbagger claims fellow Georgian McCain! Just why are a disproportionate number of right wingers from Georgia anyway? Nevermind.

Not to be out done, fellow Georgian, Erick Erickson over at Red State, in a post he has since deleted accuses Newt of Liberal Treachery and of Pissing on the Conservative Movement, among other things. Not done yet, Erickson follows this accusation with a Post urging all to Beware the Judas Goat, “a trained animal that is trained to lead other animals to pens or slaughter while sparing itself” (Hint: Think Newt leading Wingnuts to the slaughter on election day). What fun characters these are!

I imagine back in 1994 when Newt was gathering this mob to storm the Bastille, so to speak, if he ever thought of the possibility that the rabble would turn on HIM? He helped create this mob so he only has himself to blame now that it is turning on him. Poor Newt.

My Advice to Newt: be on the look out for angry mobs, pitchforks and guillotines. As I recall, your contemporary lost his head when the mobs he lead turned on Him. And today your Crazies are Howling with Rage.

Oh, and stay away from Goats while you are at it. Always good policy.
