i have been looking for the fabled “lemming with a suicide vest”, and i think there’s one around here.

i think its time to face the Piper.    The Tea Party/Libertarian zealots have elected a core of entrenched radicals, but just like radicals anywhere, they aren’t always under rational control.    interesting to note the NYT opinion piece that suggested that the arch right wing of your party was spawned and funded by a relatively small number of really affluent mega-donors who thought that they would be a useful pressure group to use against the Democratic Party.        Only to loose a self-destructive schism into their own ranks.     Now, moderate Republicans are seeing the credibility of their Party be swept away and  i really doubt the Koch Brothers want to see a collapse of the world economy, that sort of thing is really bad for business, ya know.

Frankenstein’s monster.

To the Tea Party’s lasting credit, they really DiD campaign on reducing/eliminating/or simply shutting down the government.    And they weren’t kidding about it, either.   Some of these guys apparently think that bringing the government to a halt, costing the economy much needed traction, and even risking a world-wide economic catastrophe  is a good thing.  it’s a dangerous fantasy, and cuts against the core interests of every constituent the GOP has.     The majority of businessmen and voters in this country are not in favor of electing people who want to damage their society.  

And some of you thought 60’s left wing radicals were dangerous loonies, those guys were nothing compared to today’s crop……   Osama Bin Ladin would clearly bless these radical’s efforts.    He only managed to blow down the Twin Towers, he would be pleased that the Tea Party is willing to bring down the  Full Faith and Credit of the United States.    

This is a turning point for the GOP, i think they will begin to split into 2 factions now… one moderate, and another representing the arch-conservatives.  

Moderate conservatives seem to have been curious about what a lemming with a suicide vest would look like, but nobody wants to live with one.
