We stayed up late last night just to make sure we could maximize our intake of sweet Tea Party tears over Chris McDaniel losing the GOP primary to incumbent Mississippi Senator Thad Cochran.
Uh... Chris, you blithering idiot, have you <em>really</em> never heard of the phrase &quot;Reagan Democrats&quot;? Because it&#039;s trotted out with tedious, mindnumbing frequency by pundits on the TV machine.
<i>I guess they can take some consolation that they did something tonight by once again compromising, by once again reaching against the aisle,&hellip;</i>
Politics, how does it work? (shouldn&#039;t it be reaching across? or maybe reaching around?)
Wasn&#039;t Martin Luther King a Republican, according to Extremely Reliable Wingnut <a href="http:\/\/www.patheos.com\/blogs\/warrenthrockmorton\/2012\/10\/16\/review-david-bartons-setting-the-record-straight-american-history-in-black-white-part-one\/" target="_blank">David Barton?</a>
I thought I could no longer be amazed by wingnut cognitive dissonance, but: <i>McDaniel accused his fellow Republicans of spending millions &ldquo;to defeat one of their own&quot;... </i>
&quot;Having been an elected Republican and someone who routinely takes the position of supporting conservatives in primaries and Republicans in general elections, the Mississippi race does crystalize for me the desires of many to start a third party.&quot;
The MS race was an elected Republican? Erick Son of Erick clearly has no editor.
Well, to be fair, Reagan forgot all that, too. If he even knew it in the first place.
And he got votes from the &#039;Reagan Democrats&#039;.

and with so much practice!
Money talks and bullshit walks. It&#039;s a sad fact.

Dog-whistling past the graveyard, maybe, but the tune ain&#039;t just Dixie.
What&#039;s all this talk about the Tea Party forming a turd party? Will Sarah be bringing the punchbowl?
