re: #56 elizajane

I would like to think that you are right. But when the Republicans start nominating people like Sharon Angle and Christine O’Donnell… Let’s face it, these people actually believe what they say.

Well, I think the strategy of the GOP blew up on the faces of the less cynical (read: more responsible and honest) republicans, who got owned in the primaries by honest-to-god, full-blown crazies who actually do believe in the Bible-trumps-science philosophy. Meanwhile, those without a conscience and motivated solely by a thirst of power (like Newt or Sarah Palin) have had to up the ante to not be outgrown by the monster they created.

Too convoluted?
