The GOP primaries are a shambles because the GOP is a shambles. They've been scrambling to kiss up to the Tea Party and the oh so vocal looney ultra-right fundies and they're starting to sound like a bunch of totally insane fascists. When you have, e.g., Newt up there calling for the end to child labor laws the the looney fringe egging him on, you have a Party that is truly in looney-tunes area! They have no problem lying about what Obama's done and painting him to their looney-tune voters as a "socialist," whatever the hell that means to them.....most have no clue what it truly means, they just impose their own inane meanings.
They're up there saying what they think the right-wing voters want to hear. And who they're listening to are the ones who are shouting the loudest......and those are the cult of Beck & Limbaugh. The GOP has been feeding into these assholes and now they're paying the piper -- they've created a monster and they have no fucking clue how to appease them while going for sane people votes!
