Politics-What's on your mind?

Barry Goldwater Saw it Coming.

Almost 60 years ago:

" Barry Goldwater was able to read the writing on the wall “Mark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the [Republican] party, and they're sure trying to do so, it's going to be a terrible damn problem.

Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can't and won't compromise. I know, I've tried to deal with them.”

I didnt admire his politics but I sure admire his foresight.

The 11 Republicans who voted to oust the nutjob from her committee appointments, but mainly the 199 that didn't! That's just scary!

Wait till they try shutting her up.

From what I heard from her today, I'm sure they are starting to regret it already.

Let the finger pointing begin.

She can still get her butt voted out of Congress altogether. Margarine Taylor Greene better not get too vengeful. (We can always hope.)

According to fivethirtyeight.com, "Even in the GOP, she is divisive: On average, 24 percent of Republicans view her positively and 20 percent view her negatively."* That implies that some Republican representatives (more than 11) would have some support from their districts to get rid of her.

Also, when her Twitter account isn't about conspiracy theories and hatred, it's about the money and fame. Here's what she tweeted today: "Thank you to the more than 22,000 #AmericaFirst Patriots representing all 50 states who supported me with a generous financial contribution this week!" (@mtgreenee)
