Okay, we have Santorum saying smart and elites won't vote R and Romney saying 50% of the electorate

are bums on the dole. It seems they have defined their base as stupid rich people.

It also seems as if the GOP is losing touch with reality.

really did define the GOP. They wove a "reality" that doesn't exist except in their heads, and they were making it up on the fly. And since their efforts to keep all the "rules" straight are failing, we are watching them implode in real-time.

that they practically kicked those who feel strongly about Constitution and Freedom from the party.

If they actually believe what they are saying, and 47% of us freeloading moochers AND the "elite, smart people" (which, I'm sure is a decent chunk of the populace) will never vote for them, then they might as well give up now. That's GOT to be AT LEAST 70% of the total population when added together.

Why are they even bothering anymore, if they actually believe the crap that comes out of their lying pie holes?

current stuff like this is just odd
but they can never have power to initiate wars they think will take 6 weeks to win that last a decade with non-reality threats to our security
and all the lives lost because they have lost their sanity
or the non reality of trickle down economics fantasy they have
that has put this country in great debt
so much of their platform this year is based on hallucinations
Hitler lost touch with reality too it can be just odd or truly horrific
and war drums for iran must be silenced they can not be voted in control and
stupid rich people and their groupies vote
