->  I have said, the Republican Party no longer exists. It is now
->  the Republican Tea Party. Next election, or the one after, it

-> 
->  Contact every legislator or former legislator you know who was

->  campaign against the Tea Party candidate.
-> 
->  I know this will hurt, but it's the only way to keep the
->  Republican Party to suffer the fate I named above, becoming the
->  Tea Party. It's the only way for Republicans to keep the

->

Chances are great that the Republicans will take over both the White House
and Congress in January, so all anti-Republicans might as well begun
adjusting to that ... [sigh] ...
