A Republican civil war is raging, with righter-than-thou conservatives dominating ever more primaries in a fight for the party's soul. And the Democrats hope to benefit.

Of course the implicit wish is for us to tow the party line and vote for our better in the establishment. I mean, how dare we use our own free will to determine our future. Silly us.
In AZ, the prototypical ‘rat approved RINO charges on.
Rush will be all over this tomorrow.
The libs are sh!tting bricks.
This writer Babbington is either insane, drunk, on drugs, smoking reefer or drinking too much “Obama” Kool-Aid. What a dim bulb this buffoon must be!!! He certainly ain’t living in the real world!!!

Epic state-controlled media fail depicting Tea Party candidates as bug-eyed right-wing racist Milwaukee’s Best beer guzzling wackos.
Exactly. This is about the third or fourth article I’ve seen today about the “rift” in the GOP.
