~ "While these Tea Party candidates (O'Donnell, Paladino, Angle) basically ran and won yelling
    "We're Mad as Hell,"

   ~  the Republican base has an even more telling slogan,
    "We're Stupid as Hell."

I wouldn't say that they are stupid  ....  there is legitimate concern about the national debt and high
taxes .... but most of the "tea party" folks that I have met are just plain misinformed about how
government works and basic history.    I mean .. the other day folks on this website insisting that our
founding fathers didn't pay any taxes  .. come on folks open up a book and read.

and who the heck cares if Atlas shrugged or even farted ????
