Good morning, boys and girls!
As Mitt cruises along taking a victory lap, the Freeperati are losing what little shit they had left. Let’s jump right in:
First up –Destruction Of Tea Party – Complete!
The GOP: The party of bailouts & cronyism. Destruction of Tea Party complete.

The GOP has chosen. The destruction of the TEA Party is almost complete.
“Almost”?
The Weekly Standard, National Review, Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, & all the establishment Republicans have driven the TEA Party out of the picture.
Now we are told that taking Federal bailouts = capitalism & that anybody who disagrees should just shut up. Why did they TEA Party start in the first place?
Because someblubbering hysterical wealthy stock trader whined about attempts by President Obama to keep millions more homes from going into flreclosure?
Without ethics capitalism is doomed to corruption.
I expect every Romney voter would support Solyndra or GE… because “it’s just capitalism”

To: Minus_The_BearI think you have it backward.The Republican Party’s destruction will be complete. They are about to join the Whigs on the ash heap of history.
To: Minus_The_BearYou are 100% right!
We are screwed. The Tea Party did not take over the Republican Party…they destroyed us. Now we will have every RINO candidate shoved down our throats. The Dems and the Rebubs are one and the same. They took away every real Conservative from us. Sarah Palin, Herman Cain, Michelle Bachman, and now they will destroy Newt and Santorum! I do not know if America will ever be free again, or have truw free elections. We have no real choices, because they are made for us. ALL of the media are now paid operatives for the elites. All hope is gone…To: upsdriverThe closest thing to a TEA Party candidate in this race is Ron Paul and he’s labeled as a kook.

To: Minus_The_BearI thought the objective is beating Klownie the Kenyan? Quit your whining.
I read the same post back on the night when Dumbo won the election and the best posts was when Freepers who owned business wanted to fire every Obama voter in their company.That’s the Freeper I want to read about
…not this sob story.

The economy is no longer an issue for those who have co-opted the Tea Party.They talk of everything else other than the economy – national security, abortion, religionand winnability. These issues induce fear into the sheep and they are willing to forget the economy and fall in line behind the GOP establishment. The candidates in the primaries are establishment candidates who are seasoned politicians.
To: max americanaSadly firing folks in this economy is not populist.
To: Minus_The_BearI always listen to Rush. Today I wanted to crawl through the line and strangle him. He doesn’t get the fact we know that there are times where capitalism exceeds it’s limit and becomes socialism for the few.
To: TwoSwords“I always listen to Rush. Today I wanted to crawl through the line and strangle him. He doesn’t get the fact we know that there are times where capitalism exceeds it’s limit and becomes socialism for the few.”
He really was an imbecile on stilts today, and perhaps a whore –don’t know his real motivation so not sure on the latter.
Today Rush, Ron Paul and Pat Buchanan came out against Gingrich. Early for the Ides of March, but there it is.
The asylum inmates are strangely agitated. Next week they’ll be wondering which limb to gnaw off to get out of the trap.
Thanks for sharing the photo of your Bête noire.
Wow. Just…wow.
I worked in a biology lab in undergrad and was present for an “unofficial” experiment trying to determine if copperheads get drunk, and what is the most effective liquor to make them so.
This Freeperati Obsession is starting to look veeeeery familiar.
These people take “No true Scotsman” to heart, don’t they?
If it seems that you’re the only Republican left, and everyone else in the world is a RINO, then perhaps it’s time to revisit your definitions.
What am I saying… FULL FREEP AHEAD!!!!

Again, thank you for dipping into this rancid stew so we don’t have to.
Funny that these guys can’t figure out that Rush Limbaugh broadcasts via Inland Empire, which is distributed by Clear Channel, which is owned by… Bain Capital Management.
That “free market” thingy is so darned complicated!
I’ve never found hardly any fault w Rush but today I wanted to cry.To give groups who can buy out companies and then violate agreements is wrong.
Anne Bancroft: WATER, Helen. W-A-T-E-R. Water.
Patty Duke: WAAAAAH? TAH?
Anne Bancroft: Yes, Helen, YES. WATER!
Rush a RINO? Say it ain’t so!
Thanks again, Tommy. I was killing time at a Starbucks reading FR today and you should look into the MLK threads. Not only was MLK black, but he was a commie. Oh, and he had hookers in the room when he was shot (seriously, they were asserting that). But mainly it was like a bunch of middle schoolers where one made a racist remark, and that was like a tacit signal that everyone else can get into the act, too.
Oh and there was a fascinating thread about white college kids using food stamps while in college even though their families were not poor. The whole undertone was that such an act is ok to massage the system. As long as you aren’t brown. As long as you aren’t brown.
Finally, there is a thread where people were requesting a comment ranking system. The consensus was that it could be done for an additional $15,000 to $20,000! Seriously.
Pretty, pretty kitty. Thanks TommyT!
Sorry I won’t be able to contribute to this week’s expedition. The iso-suit is in for re-duct-taping, but I did watch through the fish eye.

The saddest thing about watching the GOP implode so spectacularly is knowing there aren’t very many competent Democrats, Liberals, and Progressives to make them really hurt on election day.
Thank you all – First Draft commenters are the bestest!
I read every one, and love the level of wit and snarkitude displayed by all of you.
Precious Kitty walks with her tail held forward over her body like a little skunk, and the thick body and short legs complete the comparison. I’m forever threatening to get some animal-safe white spray paint and give her the Pepe Le Pew treatment…
