I am going out on a limb here. I will not click through to read the article, don’t want to give the WaPo or Kathleen the click.

BTW, Parker, get drilled. If the comment is not fair for this commentary, just consider partial payment for previous articles.

"We got too many Jim DeMints and Tom Coburns,"

The GOP doesn't have enough Jim DeMints. This is coming from a Yankee.

Save some time and skip it...

example... “That same rage was on display again in the fall of 2008, but this time the frenzy was stimulated by a pretty gal with a mocking little wink. Sarah Palin may not have realized what she was doing, but Southerners weaned on Harper Lee heard the dog whistle.”

“What the GOP is experiencing now, one hopes, are the death throes of that 50-year spell that Johnson foretold. But before the party of the Great Emancipator can rise again, Republicans will have to face their inner Voinovich and drive a stake through the heart of old Dixie.”

So they ARE trying to start a new Civil War...and split the country along racial AND geographical lines...what’s next for these clowns? This is disgusting...

This Connecticut Yankee agrees.

How about you just let us leave peacefully this time?

Ok, Kathleen, we’ll look away from the South. Let’s see, which state is the furthest North and might have a conservative candidate for ‘12?

Another tip for her...she doesn’t have to eat yellow snow. But, if it helps her journalistic skills, perhaps she should.

Actually, it’s f’ing RINO a$$hats like the esteemed Senator from Ohio that’s causing problems in the party... When the Repubs put up a clear candidate with priciples, they win...

Kathleen, GFY! We down in the South couldn’t care less than a handful of cotton about you, the WaPo -or- DC...
