Anyone else concerned with an impending meltdown of the far right? (28 to 45 percent of them)
I am concerned that they will break when it becomes obvious that Obama will win a second term and they will engage in unruly behavior.
Then the talking heads will allow them to spew their hatred and blame Obama and Democrats for causing the unrest.

We need that party to split for good.

(40,416 posts)I know that some here will say they do wish it but I attribute that to political hyperbole, certainly not to rational argument. And therein lies our best solution. The more extreme the right wing gets, the more they will be disenfranchised by the electorate.
But to wish for a meltdown is, in my opinion, sheer lunacy.

(34,845 posts)Yes, let's be more afraid.
Everything the Republicans have done, all the dirty tricks, the lies and deceit, they have been operating on the fringe of illegalities. They have gotten away with so much because they are very good at obfuscating the truth AND because the Democrats -all of us- let them get away with that much.
I think the tide is turning. 2012 will be different.
