re: #84 SanFranciscoZionist

They’re all afraid. That’s what creeps me out most about this class of Republican leadership/hopefuls. They’re terrified. Not people like Bachmann, she’s a true believer. But the rest of them are too scared to say “There’s no mystery about where the president was born. People who are running around saying that he’s a socialist and the world is ending are mistaken, and in some cases, cravenly lying. Now, here’s what’s wrong with the administration’s policy.”

They are too afraid to say that out loud.

They’re afraid because they know their political futures rely upon playing to the crazies. Already, the Tea Partiers are making noises, as posted downstairs, that any politicians who aren’t on-board the crazy train are going to face primary challenges in ‘12. It’s a bit hard to spot a difference between the Tea Party and the Taliban these days.
