Barack Obama

I can't wait to vote this fall to throw the Republican bums out of office.

All they have managed to do for the last 3½ years is whine about everything President Obama does, while refusing to offer a realistic alternative to any of the problems that is not coupled with repealing "Obamacare".

The GOP is in such disarray in a big way here in Idaho that their state convention in May blew up when their party broke in to 2 distinct factions - the established moderates who wanted to continue to run down the middle and confuse the issues up against the younger tea party newbies who wanted to do something crazy while they can, those members who have only been in their elected state positions for a little more than a year.

You know that when one of their most respected, most conservative leaders of their state party is shouted down at their convention, and then numerous calls for party unity go unheeded, that the situation could not look a whole lot better for the Democrats in this state this fall.
Like a giant tornado, the entire state party was swept up in to the brouhaha, including many of the state's elected officials, who have spent most of their time since May telling the media that everything is patched up between the party leaders.

Except for the continuous stream of letters to the editor by life-long Republicans that are printed each week detailing what huge frauds they think we now have sitting in those state offices, one might get the idea that the entire episode is just water under the bridge.
Not only did the bridge get knocked out, any chances of the Republicans coming together to get along with each other in time to make their re-elections easy has all but vanished.

It was the first time in 60 years that the GOP did not elect a new state party chairman at their convention.

Too bad, so sad.
