There's a storm a-comin'. A battle for the heart of... the country? No, I think that one is almost over. The Democrat party acted out its darkest fantasies for the nation, and the nation recoiled in horror. There'll be nightmares for a couple of decades, but all that remains of that battle is to clean house on November 2, 2010 and again on November 6, 2012.
The battle that is just barely joined is for the heart of the Republican party: Spendicans vs. the rest. Bridge-to-nowhere senior appropriators sleep in their crypts, dreaming of other peoples' money, awaiting their peculiar sunset awakening. Arrayed against them are the Club for Growth, Freedomworks, and Tea Party Express/Patriot rabble.
Read all about it here. Read about the influence-peddling-lobbyist-village-idiot Trent/Bob Lott/Dole promising to "co-opt" "any more Jim DeMints" the public elects. Aided and abetted by George W. "Silver Spoon" Bush, they spent the Party's brand into oblivion.
Now, help is on the way, saddled up and riding hard.
Pat Toomey, Marco Rubio, Rand Paul, Ken Buck, Mike Lee, and Sharron Angle, riding to join Jim DeMint and Tom Coburn. And more... a whole House Majority more.
They're coming to the crypt, fire in their eyes and garlic 'round their necks, with torches, pitchforks, and wooden stakes in their hands. Hostile takeover, indeed.
Now, where's my horse?
