We need multiple parties – no one ever said two was the limit. That said, the Republican Party should not be one of them. In the 21st century, a movement conservative party has as little use as a monarchist one.

Let’s be honest; the GOP hasn’t contributed a damn thing to the country since Abraham Lincoln, except for the thirty years of moderate rule (1952-1980) during which they adopted the Democrats’ positions on the welfare state, unions, and regulation – while the Democrats adopted their one-time positions on civil rights and they, instead of leading the charge on that issue, backed away from it and began a slow slide into becoming the Confederate States Party they are today.

When the best thing a political party has done in the last one hundred and forty years is to temporarily adopt the platform of its worst enemy, it’s time for that party to go.

I can see either the GOP splitting in two, or failing that, the Democrats doing the same, and splitting into a moderate vs. progressives wing.

I give Snowe another three months, tops, before she’s drummed out for not taking some kind of loyalty oath.

You sure you spelled that right?

…meet me after work, sweetheart, and I’ll show you.

Well, it was the cyberequivalent of hissing and pointing at your open fly…

Which begs the question, why is she sticking it out?

Yes, the only possible methods are either coddling to torture – just like in Norquist’s fever dreame where cars are either city-sized or teeny tiny European plastic jobs. (Hint, Grover: if your car might not be big enough for your family, don’t have any more fucking kids.)

Whence cometh the fury of these people?

Yeah, Baroney! That’s certainly not, um, crunchy of them! Cuz libruls are soggy!

This clown makes Tom Friedman look like he’s researched something.

And someone was stupid enough to open the door? GAAAAAAAAH

Aww. It’s cute to see Baroney think he still has relevance.
