The sad thing is that these same right wing zealots will vote for one of their favorite nuthatches like Keyes, Buchanan, Tancredo, Paul who will run as the third party hiccup.
Meanwhile the Democrats will cheerfully allow Nader to take his greens out for the Lincoln Day dinner and they'll all meet back at the union hall and laugh their asses off at dirtboy and his juvenile screaming Deany loons.

The Republican Party needs some backbone alright. They need to tell their fringe to go back to shack in the trailer park.
