The Batshit Crazy Right(tm) is about 20% tops. It's always been 15%-20%.

The Media has amplified their number to force the political debate in this country far, far to the right.

Election fraud, extreme redistricting, phoney polling, and every other Big Money trick in the book have been used to make it seem that they represent somekind of Majority or Near Majority. They do not.

Last night was the beginning of the end of this particular fraud.

You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time.

But the fraudsters are smart people and I'm sure a new scam is in Beta testing now. Just can't wait to see what it will be.
