Wow, reading that literally gave me chills down my spine.
On a more positive note though, even my conservative in-laws dislike Bachmann and the rest of the Republican hopefuls. They were staunch supporters of Dubya, so hopefully there are enough people out there like them that can see these people for who they really are. I think that this new form of ultra conservatism is pushing away those that are more towards the center of the political spectrum, and the center is what decides elections.

Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
