I believe there is NOTHING that could put the Teabaggers back into electoral reality. They already know their views are not those of a majority of Americans, so they seek to redefine what ‘American’ means. REAL Americans believe as they do, and even if they’re only a small minority, they must force their way on the rest of us, because they’re RIGHT.

Just try arguing with a Teabagger that most Americans are cool with same sex marriage. Their answer: “We’re not a democracy. We’re a Republic.”

Of course, they point to the unpopularity of Obamacare and bitch about courts overturning the ‘Will-O’-The-People’ when Prop 8 is decared unconstitutional.

The only thing that will work is time. They have to die off, because they won’t piss off.

Oy - that is depressing. I’m very lucky in that I seriously don’t know any teabaaggers to have a conversation with. The republicans I know are horrified by them - some voted for Pres Obama, some sat home, maybe 20% voted for Romney on the tax issue alone (and they all hated Ryan). I’m thinking if they face a 40 state rout, all the money will dry up and we know that’s the only thing that will push them aside.
