6. The fractures have already begun in the GOP party.

Who will win? a. The so called "Christians" religious right? b. Koch Brothers, KKKarl Roveeie, US Chamber? c. Tea bats? OR, the somewhat sane outcast portion of the party?

Inquirer Minds want to know!

Meanwhile, these assholes are destroying the harmony of America. Creating a atmosphere of division and hatred. Kinda reminds me of history. . . WW1 and WW2, and guess who did the same exact thing.

Hang in there just a couple more hours. You have already done a lot of damage, but I bet you can do more.

10. He'll chair the new committee: Rapists for Romney

Repugs have the rapist vote locked up this year.

[Squinch]

11. Here's the real terror, though:

He, and Steve King, may very well win. I really hope I'm wrong, but Akin is still ahead.

What has become of my country??!!
