Why does this make any sense?

Are republicans challenging these or is it coincidence?

Their response to a national call to drift to the center by going hard right instead. I hope the Republicans get eleven times eleven years out of power in this country.

I like the description he found, by Thomas Yunick: "This unholy union is now reduced to a mash-up of Dixiecrat legatees and fellow travelers: prairie gunslingers, anti-tax fetishists, end times Rapturists, militiamen and Millenarians, jingoists and misanthropes, survivalists and skinheads, and the odd secessionist witch doctor. The infestation has taken over the organism." They deserve each other.

Please rewrite. You sound like Sarah Palin with her poor diction. Judges don't make rulings "such as a law". They might make an "anti-abortion ruling" they might develop the common law of privacy they might rule on a statutory law but they don't make rulings such as a law any more than you have a top of the line of an agenda.

What a fucking baby. I thought Alaskans were supposed to be rugged individualists marinating in personal responsibility.

I was pretty keen on really bad sitcoms when I was 9 or 10, though (e.g., Perfect Strangers, Just the Ten of Us, My Two Dads, Charles in Charge).

This show has been popping up in internet conversation A LOT these past couple of months. I remember the Halloween episode where Vicki is possessed by a ghost giving me nightmares for a week when I was 5 years old.
