Tuesday's Results: The Tea Party shows it's alive and well, Wisconsin's embattled governor gets more votes than the top two Democrats and a federal inmate gives the president a primary battle. The natives are still restless.

I can't imagine how the Dems could set the bar any power.
Mass murderer maybe?
Meanwhile the independants want the Repubs to be civil "Or Else" by golly they will vote DemocRAT.
Can you say *Kennedy*?
What a felon convicted of extortion and making threats to dems?
Dahmer didn't eat puppy-dog.
In my opinion, We The People are “fed up” and intend to send the vermin in DC packing. Everyone I talk to is outraged and angry and consider DC a corrupt sewer.
GOOD!
In 1988, the Harris County (Houston, Texas) Democratic Committee voted as its chair thing Leslie Perez, a convicted murderer and transexual. At which point I concluded that the Democratic Party was hopelessly reprobate.

This is going to end up being epic...
