people lived and worked there to try to get a person elected to office, steve stockman, america's wackiestgressman, steve stockman who tweeted if babies had guns, they wouldn't be aborted. congressman stockman distributed a book to everybody in the house. he recently declared himself a candidate against the republican, john cornyn, but those have to make john cornyn feel pretty good, despite stockman's let's say vocal support of gun rights. it is just another round of what is shaking up to be the no holds barred competition within the republican party to get as far right as possible in order to win the affection of a base that demands no less. in north carolina, the frontrunner to take on democratic senator kay hagan, has started an assault and in an interview, called protesters of that state's republican governance, whiners and losers, and eric ericsson's candidate is dedicated to secession. actually, i'm sorry, nullification. the gateway drug to secession. he said he would be part of the wacko-bird caucus. >> looking at recent history, we're seeing a narrative play out in the republican
