Anyway, good luck to all. Gerrymandering sure produces some nuts.  |
You clearly come down on the side of Pres Obama. The trouble is, if you look at the poll, 88% of tea party republicans want repubs to do what they are doing. 88 + 63/2 = 75.5 yet 77% back the republican course ... that means that over half are self identified tea party repubs! Apparently the congresspeople in question feel they are supported by their constituencies (or forced, to look at it another way).
Either case, it is easy to see with things like:
"Liberals make me sick" (stereotyping - bumper sticker)
"Bros before Hos!" (anti-Hillary slogan)
"Teabaggers!" (pejorative)
"Obama will put martial law in place on August 13th 2013" (propaganda)
"Go to hell, Boehner" (personal attack - democratic party mailing)
"Whiny babies in congress" (pejorative - what you just said)
how shit got so polarized.
