Since before the primary, it’s been horrifyingly amusing to me that neither Bouma nor Young seem to have much of a clue as to what the responsibilities would be of the offices they are running for (perhaps the local GOP has let them down there), although both can blow unending amounts of hot air about their misunderstandings of the US Constitution and the evils of socialist Muslim Obama.

WTG, Republican Tea Party! I just love the undeniable elitism inherent in such a plank . . . you don’t trust we-the-people to elect our own Senators! How’s that for hypocrisy? Government bad; people good – but not good enough to elect our own senators.
