Has the Republican party become too extreme now for many of its own members?

They won't. Those ole Tea Baggers are sooooooo silly.

Yes, Republicans should have easily won the Senate. But several of the people running for office seem to have tourettes syndrome.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
