Reality check ala Rachel:
There was not an ideological coherence to what’s going on in right wing politics. There’s not a cogent argument to make about what kind of challenge these folks present and what’s going to happen in these elections.
It’s not the deficit. It’s not big government. It’s not the stimulus.
It’s not Obamacare. It’s not populism. It’s not that all of these people are outsiders.
It’s none of these things. These things are all provably not what’s going on. They’re not bolstered by the facts no matter how many times you hear from the Beltway media. This is not what’s happening.
But the media dressing these guys up like there is some coherent narrative, like there is some cogent argument here, that conveniently obscures what’s really going here, which is that we are on the precipice of elevating the federal office, the most extreme and in some cases strange set of conservative candidates in a lifetime.
Yes, this has happened to a smaller degree before. In 1994, in the first midterm election after the last Democrat president was elected, we got a slate of candidates that included Helen Chenoweth of Idaho, Steve Stockman of Texas. These two were so close to the militia movement in this country that Mr. Stockman actually received advance notice that the Oklahoma City bombing was going to happen.
There are extremist candidates who from time to time survive the churn of electoral politics and actually make it into the mainstream. There’s always a few. But there has never been this many.
None of this makes any sense. We’re just about to elect a whole bunch of extremists-unless thing change in the next two week.
Listen as Rachel debunks the campaign lies and the MSM narrative as she exposes the Republicans “wish list” for the extremist agenda that it is.
Two weeks out. How do Democrats run against this?

These extremist Republican candidates and their Beltway Media enablers should not be allowed to have it both ways by the voters. Don’t be fooled again.
