re: #166 darthstar

Their goal is to survive their whacked out base right now. It’s pure survival within the Republican primary system that is creating this stupidity. They created the Tea Party because they thought tapping into good old fashioned American bigotry would galvanize their base…and it did. Except that it also shrunk their base to just those jello-mold making people so far removed from other cultures that they suspect anyone who isn’t as white as them of being a terrorist.

You’re assuming that the politicians care about the poor and country more than their wacked out base does. There’s no evidence that they care.

You’re poisoning us with pleasant lies.

They’ve got the base they built.
