You may be missing the bigger picture here. That is when the teabaggers dilute the collective Republician vote. And then they put in your anti-christ as President again. Much the like the Perot Voters of '92. In fact ...write it in stone. It will happen.
Only works when your opponent has a free press and a conscience, not so good at dealing with regimes like Stalin, Mao,Castro, etc etc etc.
You're saying the legitimate members of the Tea Party movement will go for a candidate outside the mainstream and thus take away from the GOP vote, right? I can see that possibility. But what does it have to do with our discussion (or that of this thread) that infiltrators will merely be used as a scape goat for any off-color action?
The winner is everything right? If the teabaggers are as they have been(or appear to be) ...they will put their anti-christ back in office for a second term. It's very simple. Tell me you can't see this?
