"I would liken this a little bit to Gettysburg, where a Confederate unit went looking for shoes and stumbled into Union cavalry, and all of a sudden found itself embroiled in battle on a battlefield it didn't intend to be on, and everybody just kept feeding troops into it. That's basically what's happening now in a political sense. This isn't exactly the fight I think Republicans wanted to have, certainly that the leadership wanted to have, but it's the fight that's here." -- An anonymous Rethuglican House member speaking to the right-wing Washington Examiner (no link) about the teabagger faction's charge into the cannon fire. It's noteworthy that the congressman makes the historical comparison for his current-day Rethugs to the Confederates.
Gettysburg was the high water mark for the Confederacy, fought 150 years ago this year. May it also be true for teabaggery in this country.
