Just in case you needed a reminder why it's better to fight the GOP than each other...
If there's one good thing about the Tea Partiers over George Bush's GOP, it's that they at least they come out and say what they really think publicly.
Except the problem for the Teabaggers (and the joy for us) is that they usually cannot effectively read their audience (the electorate):
Allen Quist, a Republican candidate seeking the nomination to go up against Rep. Tim Walz (D-MN), has made a serious pronouncement: That the political battle against the Democrats is the defining fight of this generation, even greater than the fight against terrorism.
"Now why am I doing this? I don't need to be in lights, I don't need to speak, I don't need to be before a TV camera, I don't need to be in the paper. I have been there, I have done all that. I don't need to be there," said Quist, a former state Representative who ran for governor twice in the 1990's, and even won the state party convention's endorsement in the 1994 primary against the incumbent moderate GOP governor.
"It's because I, like you, have seen that our country is being destroyed. I mean, this is -- every generation has had to fight the fight for freedom. This is our fight. And this is our time. This is it. Terrorism, yes -- but that's not the big battle. The big battle is in D.C., with the radicals. They aren't liberals, they're radicals. Obama, Pelosi, Walz -- they're not liberals, they're radicals. They are destroying our country. And people all over are figuring that out."
You know, a lot of people aren't looking forward to 2010, but I am.
The tea partiers are going to seriously pull the rug out from under the House GOP if they're not careful.
Grab your popcorn.
