They'd have thrown these braindead assholes out of the party as soon as Reagan left office.

But they have neither sense nor a knowledge of history, that's why they're Republicans. They think a bunch of bible flogging yahoos from back country America have been good for them and besides, they're afraid to lose those votes.

However, remember it's darkest before the dawn. That party hasn't got much farther to go before it shatters.
