Ms. Horn needs to learn that comments like hers only illustrate why people don’t vote for Republicans.

Meh. As far as GOP crazy goes, I give this like a 1.5 out of 10. I know I’ve said crazier than that. Anyone who claims they haven’t needs to spend some quality introspective time.

Until elections are over on Tuesday night and we’ve won it all.

As long as Obama still has his veto pen you’re shit out of luck.

“This is our time. We need to crush it,” Horn told supporters at a
rally for the GOP’s slate of candidates in Manchester, according to NH Journal.
“We need to grab it, run with it, push their heads under over and over
again until they cannot breathe anymore. Until elections are over on
Tuesday night and we’ve won it all.”

“Waves happen when every single member of a cause or a movement come
together with passion and action … You are the wave. I need you out
there for the next two days. It will not happen without you,” she added.

We need to fuck them hard; fuck them until they are unconscious, fuck them in waves, and then fuck them until they are dead. There, fixed it for you, oh moral Christian party that you are.

Hm. I was wondering if I was the only one who picked up the rapey vibe.

Women like Ms. Horn make me rethink my vow to never use certain words as descriptives.

See, Republicans are just about pure tribal rivalry and hatred of the ‘competitors’. This is as primitive, psychologically and sociologically, as it gets. Forget that political parties form around a central governing philosophy that puts different emphasis on different ideals, but must come together and compromise to implement public policies. This has devolved to where, if you are not one of us, you are the enemy, and you must be utterly destroyed. And if you ARE one of us, you MUST conform to our authoritarian practices, or be stoned to death as an apostate. This is no different than North and South Korea, Tutsi and Hutu, or Serbian vs Croat, albeit without any historical conflicts over land or cultural dominance. It’s just purely tribal.

And that means the USA is UNGOVERNABLE as long as this pattern holds. The oligarchs that have created this chaos have a lot to account for. And the whole weird system is driven merely by the single strange attractor of raising money to fund campaigns–it’s the impulse that provides the energy for all that follows, as night follows day.

Agreed, it seems the only motivating principle the Republicans have left is white-hot hatred and a revenge fantasy of punishing or eliminating their political opponents – which they see as mortal blood enemies.
The GOP has transformed into a death cult.

This kind of language, drowning in the bathtub, well it’s what John Wayne Gayce did to HIS poor victims. Grover Norquist has been talking this way for years and years, drowning the gov’t in a bathtub, and '2nd amendment solution’s seem to be their two most popular positions, and then there is the simian Hannity claiming that water boarding is not torture. The psyche of the typical Republican seems to be sordid beyond belief. What is the magnet that has drawn together so many rancid, rotten souls?

Statesmanship is dead in this country. No more Madison’s, Hamilton’s, Lincolns, Teddy Roosevelt’s. It’s bottom of the barrel time.

Even if The Republicans make some gains, and win the senate there are still some very ominous signs in the numbers for them. Remember how people where talking a year ago. 2014 was supposed to be a cake walk for the GOP, but instead they are struggling with many races that where supposed to be landslides. It really does not make their future look so bright in the long term

"We need to put on our brown shirts and armbands, light our torches, and march in the dead of night until we have crushed our enemies, destroyed their businesses, and burned their temples and books. We need to make this country safe for “Real Americans. (and only Real Americans).”
There. Fixed it for you.

That’s so much worse than Pelosi claiming civilization would
end if GOP wins, than Nunn implying black children will be
gunned down on the street, than Udall claims women won’t
have access to birth control, than Rangel claims GOP clings
to slavery, than many accusations that impeachment awaits,
than Bregich claims that Sullivan releases murderers, than
Hagan’s claim that Tillis caused Trayvon Martin’s tragedy
by supporting stand your ground laws (as do 31 states),
than virtually every claim Chris Mathews and Joe Biden make, etc. Please, chill out. At least she didn’t recruit illegals to
vote often (as did Dems in NC, FL, NM, CO, NV, TX, CA, etc.)

You’ve said worse than that at a public rally?
