So when the Democrats dont get slaughtered, but Republicans do, what then?

The more psychotic the Tea Party, and its members/candiates become, the easier it is for moderates to side with Democrats. They may not like half the things, Democrats are for/running, but would rather have the Democrat in office, then someone who isn't in the same reality, in office. At least with Democrats, the moderates know things will get accomplished, and generally in favor of the 'little guy', NOT, the large corporation screwing him.

I laughed at the stuff, this journalist wrote on the Tea Party. Its so completely true, based on my observations of the organization and its members. Should be required reading for any Democrat or moderate thinking of not voting in November....

"One: Every single one of them was that exceptional Republican who did protest the spending in the Bush years, and not one of them is the hypocrite who only took to the streets when a black Democratic president launched an emergency stimulus program. ("Not me — I was protesting!" is a common exclamation.) Two: Each and every one of them is the only person in America who has ever read the Constitution or watched Schoolhouse Rock. (Here they have guidance from Armey, who explains that the problem with "people who do not cherish America the way we do" is that "they did not read the Federalist Papers.") Three: They are all furious at the implication that race is a factor in their political views — despite the fact that they blame the financial crisis on poor black homeowners, spend months on end engrossed by reports about how the New Black Panthers want to kill "cracker babies," support politicians who think the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was an overreach of government power, tried to enact South African-style immigration laws in Arizona and obsess over Charlie Rangel, ACORN and Barack Obama's birth certificate. Four: In fact, some of their best friends are black! (Reporters in Kentucky invented a game called "White Male Liberty Patriot Bingo," checking off a box every time a Tea Partier mentions a black friend.) And five: Everyone who disagrees with them is a radical leftist who hates America."

How much of that sounds familiar from a few posters around here?

And any conservative thinking of not voting should read the idiotic rants of the liberals on this board.

Of course, the douchebaggers are also hypocrites about the transfer of tax dollars from the BLue (producing) states to the Red (pork, corporate welfare, and teabaggers "entitlements")
This says it all... the money goes to Republican states
