    No, I think he meant that having sitting, Republican senators primaried on a single issue would cause dysfunction in the Senate.

    It would, most likely, cause the Senate to lose Republican senators as a result because Ayotte and Rubio are almost certainly going to be challenged on the right over immigration.

    Rubio, who has aims on the presidency, getting into a primary fight, and losing with the primary winner then losing to a strong Democratic challenger is almost the dictionary definition of political dysfunction.

    But if that's what you want, ideological purity, on a single issue, then the GOP is sure to lose seats. That's also true for Democrats but they aren't as demanding as the right side of the aisle.

    On a side note, my state has two Tea Party congressmen, both are as conservative as you can get on almost everything and both are likely to get into a primary fight. My state dances to the beat of the Wal-Mart drum and both have, at Wal-Mart's urging, backed a sales tax on internet purchases.

    I've been fighting these spider monkeys off with a toilet plunger for about nine months.

    How is that when you have only been here for six?

    And there you go lying again. Even you aren't stupid enough to think I meant that.

    You also lied about what you said. You didn't just predict that some of those 14 Republican senators would be primaried. You said that they should be primaried. You can't even be honest about your own statements.

    What you are doing is calling for any member of the GOP who dares allow the current administration to get anything done should be booted out as a traitor. You want the government of the United States to do absolutely nothing until there is a Republican in the White House. That is rooting for dysfunction. You care more about your beloved party than the good of the country. That is something you have proven time and again.

    That is not the same thing as saying elections are dysfunction. That is another lie on your part, one in an incredibly long list.

    I had basically the same screen name before this one, brainiac.
    Why the fuck do you even care?

    Nobody can beat off monkeys like Fart Boy.

    And a plunger? Kinky.

    Tony didn't even accuse me of lying before you jumped in. Please try harder to keep up.

    I just gave you and tony the explanation you both seem to need. I'm still not sure if it is just willful ignorance or stupidity, but either way, both of you desperately need help.

    Regarding your latest bit of foolishness, there are legitimate reasons to criticize how I post here. Sometimes I am careless and often I am confrontational. But cowardly? That's so far from how I post here that it leads me back to what is becoming my favorite question of late. Are you lying or are you stupid? Because it has to be one of those two possibilities.

    My wife likes it when I dress up like Cyrano de Bergerac and wave the plunger about like a swordsman.

    Exactly which screen name are you talking about? I get confused.

    That everyone else can read puts you at a severe disadvantage in life.

    Fart, 3Octave.
    Part of a crack commando unit sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit.
    These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground.
    Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune.
