GOP'ish candidates

[smc]

Michele Bachmann is coming on strong in Iowa, thanks in large part to the tremendous appeal she has to those who cherish America's wonderful history of fighting for liberty:

I was wondering when someone was going to finally get around to posting Michele's gaffes (damn, I'm polite). I almost fell off my chair laughing when I read her statements. I'm not from the US and even I knew she was wrong with what she said.

Michell and Sarah seem to be in competition in saying stupid things about American history. Most Americans are so clueless, it doesn't matter whether Washington or Lincoln crossed the Delaware. They do know that Ronald Reagan was our greatest President -- or -- was it John Wayne?

They both acted in Westerns. They're so similar as makes no difference.

Randolph on Perry:

He doesn't believe in evolution or global warming. The debates between Bachmen and Perry should be quite entertaining.

Not just Bachmann but with any of the GOP candidates. They're all fundamentalist bible thumpers. With all the candidates we have there is still little choice. Our only hope is if these yahoos can keep their religion separate from their job as president. Some can. Perry clearly can not. He just filled a large convention center in Houston to pray for America's financial recovery. So much for separation of church and state. So much for rational thinking. God doesn't balance budgets. Hire a damn economist. Perry would be right at home in the dark ages.

He is everything that those supporting conservative traits would oppose.

With close to a dozen in the pack, I don't see a leader yet.
Of all , I see Gingritch as capable but still very un-electable.

Romney seems to be ahead, but Im not convinced he would abolish national health care after he implemented it in his own state. I like Gingrich except for his bible thumping ways, but I think he's able to separate that from his job.

I like the term yahoos for this bunch.
Their position statement is "Don't confuse me with the facts"

The statement that I put in bold is quite funny and unfortunately for the US it's all too true.

Well a president Perry or president Bachman will mean that instead of writing 2013 we will all be writing 1913 or in Perry case 1813
