This, sadly, does not surprise me:

Terry Frank on moderate Republicans urging a move by the party to the center:

I mean really, how much more left can we really move, Christine? We moved more and more to the left and its viewed (and received at the ballot box) as a once respectable lady getting looser and looser.

I wish over and over that I didn’t have to sleep.  With more time, I’d already have written a proof-in-the pudding response to the silliness that is bubbling up in Republican circles that it’s those right-wing-nuts that cost us seats time and time again.

6:9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: 6:10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?

As a youngster, I used to show horses.  Until college, hauling to horse shows, working at the barn, handling the new foals was a great time together for my mother and me.  We have great memories.  I love watching animals and how they can so simplistically display many of the same behaviors as people.
