The Republico-Tea Party has been suffering recently from a series of meltdowns of unprecedented racism, ignorance, stupidity and farce.

Perhaps the narrative that they are soon to take over the country will begin to fade.
These jerks are still getting an easy ride from the mainstream media, which treats a vague discussion of an unpaid advisory position with Rep. Joe Sestak like it was a real story, while ignoring a Republican congressional candidates claim to know where the Ark of the Covenant is.
While some of this is funny, I think we need to make the point with the American people that this is a choice election between skilled people (Democrats) who are working hard on the country's many difficult problems and a bunch of hate-spewing crackpots who couldn't be trusted to organize a sack race at a Fourth of July picnic.
Just to touch on the recent winger candidates and concepts who have provided some of the most outlandish news items.
--Sue Lowden, Nevada Republican Senate candidate, and the chicken economy.
--Sharon Angle, another Nevada Republican Senate candate, with Scientology sympathies.
--Rand Paul, whose meltdowns have taken the country back to questions about segregation, support for BP in the oil spill, and his own private eye doctor certification mill.
--Wrestling exceutive Linda McMahon's run for the Republican nomination for the Senate in Connecticut.
--Tim D'Annunzio, who believes the Ark of the Covenant is in Arizona, where it should be safe from the 1,000-mile high pyramid that he believes God will drop on Greenland. He is running for the U.S. House from North Carolina.
--J.D. Hayworth, who announced that the U.S. failed to declare war on Nazi Germany. J.D. is in a Battle of the Rightwing Dingbats with former Sarah Palin coat-bearer John McCain for the Republican Senate nomination from Arizona.
--Palin herself. The former part-term governor from Alaska is criticizing President Obama for "being in bed with the oil companies."
--Republicans are using donor money to pay thousands to watch women in horse bridles simulate lesbian sex. (But in a family values kind of way.)
--Rep. Mark Souder of Indiana resigned after admitting that the woman in his abstinence video was really a lover who worked on his staff.
--Yet another Republican interested in the gubernatorial office in South Carolina is involved in allegations of a sex scandal.
--A co-founder of the Family Research Council and expert on de-Gayification, is caught returning from Europe with his Rent Boy.
--The ever-shrill Tea Party lament of lost freedom and call for violent reaction is resulting in the murder of policemen and even museum guards.
--And these lunatics have a platform that calls for ending the public's right to elect U.S. Senators. Kind of refreshing that they are working without pollsters, but it might go better if they weren't idiots.
