Yep…they’re starting to act like the Democrats normally do…stealing defeat from the jaws of victory.

To be fair, I don’t blame this wave of Tea Party cultish insanity on Republicans. They are swept up in it and forced to ride on the wave in order to get any votes at all. Were they in charge of their own message, I have no doubt their platform would be different and less crazy.

Unfortunately, they are not. They are slaves to a Conservative cult media that doesn’t have the best interests of their party, or the nation, at heart. In some ways, it’s almost preferable for this cult media to have a hardcore, perpetually angry minority of about 30% that is slavishly devoted to them, than have a more nuanced, reasonable majority that has a greater capacity for independent thought.
