Republicans have buried Reagan's 11th Commandment and put a daisy on it...

[kentuck]

Thou shall not speak ill of a fellow Republican.

Tell that to Rick Perry and Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum and Michele Bachman and Sarah Palin.

Sarah was the first to be torn down but she took a shitload of money with her when she left. She never really had any intention of running for President, in my opinion. But they were able to portray her as the dimwit she truly is, before she lost most of her popularity.

Then along came Donald Trump and he was nothing more than a shooting star with a crazy wig. His "birther" campaign soon ran out of gas.

Then enter Bachman. She won a straw poll in Iowa and it was her turn to be torn down. It didn't take long to see that she was not equipped to handle the job. She had a difficult time with historical facts and geography.

Then Rick Perry entered the race. Immediately he shot up to over 30% in the polls and was the favorite to be the nominee. After sleeping thru about three debates and attempting to counter the racist "rock" on his hunting property, he soon sank out of sight.

So, along came the pizza man, Herman Cain. With the agility of a circus barker, he wrapped many of the tea-baggers around his finger and worked his way to the top of the polls. He was attacked in the last debate by those that look to tear down anyone that sits at the top.

Mitt Romney was/is considered the favorite after Perry's explosive demise. They will all be ganging up on him in the next debate. He is a Mormon. He is not a "true" Christian. He is part of a "cult". But they won't have to say that. They already have put that issue into the debate. It will be an uphill battle for Romney.

But, with the hatchets flying and the verbal attacks spewing, it will be difficult for any Republican to unite their Party. If Reagan were alive, he'd be rolling over in his grave...

1. Has Huntsman dropped out yet?

If he's still in, he has a shot. His biggest asset? He's "NOT MITT ROMNEY."

He may be the lead dog of the 2nd tier players, and if the convention refuses to give the party a nominee, there could be a floor fight.

Ya never know!

4. I find I can bear the internecine warfare of the GOP (gang of piranha) with enormous fortitude. - nt

5. This was the inevitable end result of decades of cozying up to religious extremists,

paranoid gun clubbers, anti-tax evangelists, anti-education and anti-union screechers, and of course Big Business.

It started during the Reagan administration and was amplified with each election since.

Sow ice, reap wind.

edit: spelling.

6. "Pull my Daisy..."

7. Let Reagan squirm in his grave and just enjoy the loathsome spectacle.

And really hope that none of these bozos gets elected president.

8. Well, if Cain wins it

we have all kinds of footage from these fools going at each other. All we have to do is replay the vid of him saying that abortion is the woman's decision and the law shouldn't have anything to do with it.

He's just as confused as many of the pro-lifers on that, not really grasping the concept that making it illegal will not allow the woman to make the choice. Cain said that if the woman wanted to break the law, it was her decision like nothing would happen to her. Does he think that they'll just make it illegal with no punishment? Or just pass another unenforceable law? Or is he of the school that will believe that just because it's illegal, it doesn't happen?(the close your eyes and cover your ears, don't want to know or believe in reality crowd)
