That is part of the problem - in order to get the republican nomination they need the fringe republicans on their side. The result of course is you end up with another wackjob. This goes back to what I was saying before about their party being out-of-touch with society (and reality in general in many cases)
Well their other option of doing Obama-bashing probably does not seem too appealing to them right now - the economy is better off now than we he took office - saved the auto-industry - got bin laden - took care of the housing bubble bust, unemployment is down - but then you listen to the republican wackjobs and they say that Obama wants to destroy America. Dick Cheney loves to say that.

Do you even bother to read your posts before you click on "Send". IMHO, you are the one who sounds like a whack job. There are lies, damn lies and statistics. You can use the numbers to say whatever you want them to say. Take, for example, your claim that unemployment is down. Why is it down? The labor force participation rate is the lowest it's been in decades. Could that be part of the reason that unemployment is down? If so, this is a bad thing and not a good one. Also, if one is on unemployment and the unemployment runs out and one goes on welfare, one is no longer unemployed. This is positive?

Also, my tolerant friend, you really should learn to write posts that are more civil.
