Voltaire had it right...
"In my life, I have prayed but one prayer: 'Oh Lord, make my enemies ridiculous.' And God granted it."

The Publicans looked ridiculous tonight.

3. Spot on!
The July Tea Baggers and the August Town Hall Follies were both absolute gifts to the Democratic Party. :) And now tonight's performance by the Congressional Kiddies on the Repub side of the aisle.

4. It's sad that they take such pleasure in behaving foolishly. They wear their stupidity like a badge
of honor.

As the saying goes "Ignorance is bliss". The repukes have proven it must be true.
