Is there a point where Republicans will not go if it means ousting Obama?

Not likely.

It could be raining blood and demons could be springing up from cracks in the ground and if it doesn't make Obama look bad enough, then they'll want more.

These are the same people who are still hoping that something could come up about Obama's birth certificate and have him disqualified or impeached or whatever.

Here's the Tea Party Nation asking business owners to stop hiring people:

These are the same people who put up a video of Obama being 'racially divisive' in 2008 and called it 'BREAKING NEWS' and then put up the same video a week ago, but for some reason still called it 'BREAKING NEWS'.

So, they're willing to sacrifice the votes, their jobs, and their intelligence (Which, you know, they can't exactly afford to sacrifice a lot of that right now anyway) to hurt Obama, what else are they willing to sacrifice? At what point does it become enough?

There are a wide range of responses in the Republican party - from the Karl Roves to just people who disagree with our policies and programmes.

There are plenty of Obama haters for whom there is no low too low -but that's not all of them. Maybe most of them, though.

7. The only reason rape is not on their table is that they don't believe it would work.

No. They would eat their grandmothers if they thought that would beat President Obama.

If they believed that rubbing feces on themselves on live television would be damaging to Obama, they would do it.
