There's a foist time for everything.

This deserves a foist in the face.  :P
Get there foistest with the mostest.

If the GOP base is going to require candidates to be more conservative than Cantor than whoever they back in the presidential primaries is going to lose to the establishment candidate once again or get creamed in the national election.

I'm again reminded of the teacher in my H.S who told us, in class, in early 1980 that Ronald Reagan wouldn't be the Republican nominee that fall, because the party leadership wouldn't allow him to win the nomination because he was far too conservative to win in the general election.

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Not exactly a case of collegiality within the party. Seems the tea party is spending all it's time on rooting out heretics. I'll laugh when Cruz gets primaried.

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

The funny thing about the Brat upset victory is that the Tea Party put practically nothing into that campaign, yet rushed in to hail the victory almost as if they were taking credit for it.

A pretty detailed breakdown of the demographics of the electorate involved in this primary.

Slate?  No thanks.
Numbers don't change just because they're printed in Slate.

Not sure how that's helpful. GOP primary in one part of Virginia vs the whole of the USA. Surely it'd help more to compare primary voters to the district/state?

Yeah amazing such a low number of self-professed Liberals voting in a Republican Primary.

Since it is a safe republican seat, perhaps they should?
