The GOP...

I am on the left politically but I do not subscribe to the belief that all conservatives or Republicans are dummies. This country needs an active, articulate discourse. We don't have that now.

The problem for the GOP is that there is no real leadership. Instead they have figureheads offering litmus tests, joiners instead of leaders and those engaging in the useless game of gotcha. Gone are those who reached across the aisle to move the country forward, replaced by evangelicals and ideologues who would make Nixon and Reagan blush in embarrassment. Romney, Ryan, Cantor and others are toadying up to these folks, hoping to catch their support while offering NOTHING of substance (eg, the Republican health care plan).

And the yawn inspiring Sarah Palin? Reminds me of Kozinski's Chauncy Gardiner in Being There. There's no "there" there. Watch her supporters and realize celebrating Sarah is a celebration of stupidity and the triumph of know nothings. Ron White is right: you can't fix stupid.

Very sad in deed.
