The greatest crime an elected republican can commit is showing signs of human decency. The cult will not allow it.

It would appear that The Republican Party is determined to decrease its own numbers in both the Senate and the House of Representatives. If that is the case, then iā€™m on board with that plan. Please proceed to alienate as many elected officials from your own Party as possible.

Heaven forfend he votes in a manner that reflects his entire state constituency. Apparently you vote the party above the people or get a horse head in your queen-sizedā€¦

Good. Let the feral base tear the leadership apart.

This is proof that the GOP is never going to get better on its own. It must be destroyed so that something healthy can grow in its place.

Wow. Heā€™s practically a lefty liberal, commie, pinko, Marxist extremist. Cast him out or have him retake the blood oath and give the secret handshake again. Heā€™s probably a heathen too.

Of course, little do they realize they are the real problem here. These people live off their bigotry.

Itā€™s tough being in the Leopards Eating Faces party; downright lacerating as it were.

Ah yes, the GOP institutes ā€œthe beatings will continue until our morals improveā€ approach, which must feel much like the close cousin ā€œthe beatings will continue until the morale improvesā€ anytime any of them feel the morals are not moral.

Poor North Carolina. Filled with people with a very, and I mean very limited view of the world.

Clearly, what the GQP needs to secure the full support of the American electorate is a campaign to assure that all of their candidates are the purest representatives of their culture war principals.
Iā€™m all for their publicly banishing all members of insufficient purity.

Dear Tom:

If youā€™re not going to persecute our Cible du Jour, we donā€™t like you anymore.

What law of physics requires that state Republican parties have to be at least 3 x as crazy as the average Republican in that state? The Arizona Republican party canā€™t wait to censure other Republicans - they have gone after Republicans who did not want to pursue the insurrection like villagers with pitchforks.

GOP eats its own. Letā€™s get them a bigger salt shaker. That shit must be tough to swallow without a little seasoning.
