   Teabaggers Ruining GOP Comeback?   
      
   Conservative Tea Party activists are energizing the Republican Party, but   
   all that enthusiasm comes with a price: They may be scaring away the   
   moderates that would help the GOP retake the House in 2010. With a shaky   
   economy, a controversial health-care plan, and uncertainty in Afghanistan,   
   the Republicans should have a good chance to win back seats from Democrats.   
   But some of the candidates the party thinks have the best shot at winning   
   seats back from the Dems are deeply unpopular with teabaggers. GOP leaders   
   were thrilled Florida Governor Charlie Crist agreed to run for the Senate,   
   but he's reviled by conservative activists for supporting President Obama's   
   stimulus package. And in the only congressional race this November, a   
   pro-choice Republican candidate hoping to hold a GOP seat in upstate New   
   York is being challenged by a Tea Party favorite, who has siphoned off   
   enough support from his moderate rival that a Democrat is now in the lead.   
   "It's healthy to have debates about the future direction of the party," says   
   a spokesman for the GOP senatorial campaign committee. But, he adds, "We   
   want to make sure we have candidates on the ballot in the best position to   
   defeat the Democrat candidate."

   All the repugs have are actors and sociopaths.   
      
   Act like they're moderate and pretend there's a Jaysus.   
      
   Looking, watching and studying Palin for instance, a big red flag goes up.   
   She struts around in those cutsie beauty queen steps smiling and her whole   
   speech begs, "Oh poor little me, I deserve to be President of the United   
   States of Amurka sooo, sooo much, please, pu-leeze, pu-leeze, wah, wah,   
   pu-leeze".   
      
   Reagan's "ME" generation, sociopaths.  Greed before honor.  I got mine...   
   heh, heh,  Where's yours?
