Though this is a first in the history of this nation with the House Majority Leader getting knocked off by a political amateur, there were ominous signs. I have drawn the parallels between the establishment GOP and TEA Party factions compared to the 1880s fight between Stalwart Republicans (Google this) and the Half-Breeds.

The establishment is being pushed kicking and screaming into a position of responsibility for something besides their next re-election.

The TEA Party showed a fair amount of political immaturity by not getting wholeheartedly behind Brat while at the same time fielding six candidates against Lindsey Graham (R-SC) who easily won against the diluted opposition.

“I wasn’t doing it to make a statement. I was doing it because I want to serve the people…”

I have to wonder, though, how soon DCitis will infect this dude like it does virtually everyone who goes to DC to “serve the people?”

Just one more reason for term limits. Or maybe banishment from the country after serving more than eight years as an elected official in ANY capacity, from local to national.

And don’t give me the “experience” argument, either. There’s no possible way totally inexperienced people could screw up the country any worse than the likes of Cantor, Reid, McCain and Pelousy.

From Sergeant Wasserman Schultz in Iowa:

“They’ve been pulled so far to the right that it’s going to cause them deep problems in the general election.”

When one rushes headlong to the left and deep into socialism, I guess it really does look like those who have remained steadfast conservatives have moved deeply to the right. At least it would seem so to a person whose whole perspective is similar to the scientists of old who considered the earth as the center of the universe, and everything revolved around it. That’s what Democraps of today are: scientists of old serving up center-of-the-universe observations about who’s political philosophies have changed.
