Ok, thanks for clarifying.

One split in the so-called "Tea Party" will be the Libertarians who have been pretty much thrown overboard versus the strict Dominionist Christians who want Taliban-like control over everyone's personal life.

The other split will be over what seems to be the intention of dismantling everything except the military and going with the Soviet Union model of spending the nations entire wealth on weapons while the civilian population lives in concrete closets and an oligarchy gets to turn the national parks into strip mines and private hunting grounds.

But do you think splits will cause them to not vote Republican? I suspect they will vote Republican no matter what. I see few "independents" who plan to vote Democratic, Green, or Socialist, etc. "Independents" tend to lean right. A lot.

Ok, this political banter needs to stop before someone gets hurt.

George Carlin (R.I.P.) summed it up the best. (I can't figure out how to embed the video; click the link instead)

Ohio district 9 candidate likes to wear a Nazi SS uniform.

This is why I scoff at "liberal fascism," while this GOPer has his own SS uniform.

Nope---those things are definitely the fault of Obama and the democrats in Congress and their out-of-control spending and failed economic policies.

I've been really mulling this coming election, without a doubt none of these clowns deserve my vote. Having said that I'm voting straight democrat this November , I'm just too afraid the republicans are going to throw the middle class and poor under the bus if they get a majority in this country.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Plantagenet', 'T')he democrats have huge majorities in both the House and the Senate. Its impossible for a "Republican bill" to be passed through this Congress.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'R')epublicans bills can't even be brought up for a vote in the House where every bill must be approved by Pelosi and the democrats before it is even put on the House agenda for a vote.
