That there are people who actually believe the Tea Party is a true grass roots, by the people type movement that doesn't have its own share of crony - Qale Sep 30, 08:04
See, this is why you never say "ever" or "never" or "always". 1930's for the GOP was pretty damn bad - Will Hunting Sep 30, 07:15
I'm skeptical about "worst thing ever" statements in general. -- nm - mara Sep 30, 07:05 2

- Against (2), Bush can take the fall for Bush's second term, but the stuff happening now poisons the Republican brand for a lot of people -- nm - Roger More Sep 30, 07:21 2

    - Oh sure, but you can say that about anything in politics. The Republicans were back in the WH six years after Nixon. -- nm - Roger More Sep 30, 07:44
- 3) controlling one chamber is not "taking over" Congress -- nm - znufrii Sep 30, 06:55

    - Yep, they took 2 huge beat-downs in 06 & 08 and then had things turned around into the biggest win in 2010. - Will Hunting Sep 30, 07:17
    - that's a big "if" though. (have I said before how the 2010 election was one of the worst thing's this country's ever done??) -- nm - Don Homer Sep 30, 07:04
