1. The Tea Party does not like Mitt.
He doesn't play their bullshit games. As far as republicans go, Mitt isn't as bat shit crazy as, say, Sarah Palin or John McCain. But he IS still a republican. If it weren't for his Mormonism, I might be worried about him. But that is going to fuck him, even though I do not believe religion should be a factor, but it is with the rest of this crazy, hillbilly, fundamentalist Christian country.

3. Naw, we'd like to think so, but you have a compliant Puke-owned press
that can pretty much do as it pleases, and protecting Clarence Thomas isn't one of them...........we've know about this for over a year, and so has the press, it's a non-starter. The press wants blood (OR semen) and the got it last week.

5. No, this was to Shut Him Up-
Justice thomas; Budget Cuts; etc. Weiner is a threat to them because people Listen to him. He does Not spread Bullshit.
IMHO, it is MSM that are the Bad Guy(s, not Rep Weiner.

6. Poor Losers over the 26th district win by Democrats. That seat
would have never been open if the Representative(Republican)
had not sent a "shirtless" photo of himself to a women via
twitter. The Rep. was married and resigned immediately.

Then Ryan did his waterloo and the seat went Democratic.

Also Republicans go after Democrats who are not fearful and
especially those who are very quick on their feet with verbal
responses. Weiner was making increasing numbers of TV appearances.

Remember how they targeted Grayson. Another articulate fearless
Democrat.

Republicans aim to keep the Democrats image as weak, timid.
