It’s like the Republican Party walks into a shit sandwich shop and spends like nine months looking at the menu board trying to find the shit sandwich with least amount of shit in it.
Spot on, ION. What also amazes me is the incredible effort of GOPers to self-hypnotize so they can feel good about their choice of the moment. They’re incredibly fickle too as they just search for solid reasons to like or dislike each one so they can stop thinking about how shitty the group is. It’s Newt one week, Ron Paul the next and then Romney. L,R,R.
Such a pathetic will to believe and gullibility is inherent in the party faithful so the candidates play on that with ever bigger lies and distortions. They know they can get away with incredible hypocrisy because the GOPers are SO desperate to want to fervently like them, hoping for easy answers and a chance to stop thinking.
“Please! Gives us someone to cheer for so we’re not stuck with the uppity black man again!”
Where else could one tout family values and get away with cheating on wives? The GOP. Where else could a man wearing magic underwear who loves corporate personhood gan such a perch? The GOP. Where else could an Ayn Rand devotee cloak his racism, homophobia and ignorance in a cloak of libertarianism pushing states rights? The GOP.
Iowa? You can keep ‘em all.
