Capitol Hill Blue noted the following:
We’re not surprised that Republicans plan to return to their extreme right-wing base to try and save their asses in the November mid-term elections. When it comes to support, all the GOP has left are the homophobes, bigots, racists and religious wing-nuts.
It’s my thought that CHB missed one vital category in the Republican Party: Neo-cons. This said, the Democrats are far from able to cast the first stone.
Darby [Democrat running for Attorney General in Alabama] is running on a nine-point platform to restore state sovereignty. Under his plan, the state would gradually divest itself of the federal government, beginning with the National Guard, and strengthen the state militia.
He advocates declaring marshal law, then “ferreting out” illegal immigrants and treating them as prisoners of war. Darby would elevate county sheriffs to what he believes to be their full constitutional power, deputizing an armed civilian police force to balance the state’s power, he said.
He also would prosecute the Montgomery-based civil rights organization Southern Poverty Law Center for treason for advocating open borders.
Perhaps this is why highly respected people like Joe Trippi and Peggy Noonan continue to question their own parties while speaking out more about independent and third parties.
