re: #47 Gus 802

Reminds me of what we would see running for office in a “banana country.” Or perhaps an Italian comedic farce staring Marcello Mastroianni. The latter probably would be too high brow for a representation. In any event if not for the seriousness of this trend it does seem like a comedy.

Personally, it is getting harder and harder for me to even comment on the TPGOP and its rhetoric. The latest example is Newt Gingrich’s bizarre assertion that his own infidelity actually helped him in the Clinton impeachment. If it weren’t for the serious possibility of one of these nattering fools being elected, I just would not think they are worthy of serious comment at all.

We should know better than to ignore them though. Thirty years ago, reasonably intelligent people dismissed creationists as a small gang of hopeless throwbacks who could not possibly achieve any real influence. You can see how that turned out.
