Seems some people who backed Republican candidates now find their posturing offensive.

Despite the fact that they took a resounding defeat in the most recent election, the "tea party" groups have doubled down on crazy, even going so far as to want to nullify federal law and arrest anyone who tries to implement it!

Fixing this craziness is not something the democrats can do, it has to come from within the republican party. Luckily there are signs that this is happening. An open records review of the emails that the "loony party of six republican's, who want to arrest federal officials, for implementing Obamacare show that the craziness might just be confined to elected officials and a few others!

As a soon to be constituent, a life long republican, and a firm opponent of Obamacare, I am nonetheless embarrassed by your absurd nullification comments. Good god! one man wrote to Rep. Chris Kapenga (R-Delafield).
I worked for you. You are a reasonable and good person and I am genuinely surprised at this, another man posted a message to Rep. Erik Severson (R-Star Prairie) on Facebook. Instead of focusing on how to make the best out of a bad situation, you think (its) better to arrest implementors of a federal policy upheld by the US Supreme Court. It may suck, but as Americans, we accept the results of elections and move forward. This is disgraceful.
Nice to see some in the Republican Party pushing back. I agree that the Democrats cannot fix the crazy in the other Party.

A former Tea Party member called the Stephanie Miller Show this morning talking about how she felt used and that there is actually a group of disappointed tea party people that have formed a web site. She also stated that she felt betrayed.

Going from batshit crazy to just crazy.
