Can you believe these Republicans today? How can so few truly stupid people carry so much power in our nation? Among the Republican base, Governor Rick Perry is 10 points ahead of Romney after just a few weeks.
Is this what the Republican base loves about Perry?
· He’s an Evangelical Christian that takes the Bible literally and wants to teach creationism in public schools.
· Perry supported Al Gore in the 1988 Democratic presidential primaries and chaired the Gore campaign in Texas.
There is much for libertarians to love about Perry as well. But those of us who lived through George W. should be entirely done with Texan “conservatism” – war making, religion on our sleeve, new entitlement programs and a nation ruining don’t-tax-but-spend mentality.
What is most scary of all is that while ordinary common sense tells us this guy is unelectable [and therefore won’t be nominated], this new Republican Party is so delusional they think he can win and they have eliminated from their Party everyone with a brain that might tell them the truth. Give Brooks a read on the subject.
President Rick Perry?

My favorite line from the column: “[Perry] does very well with the alternative-reality right — those who don’t believe in global warming, evolution or that Obama was born in the U.S.” Where exactly do we find so many people who can get away with promulgating such nonsense? Or the better question: What in the world is wrong with us?
Progressives, run to the primaries and vote for Perry. Sensible people, please God remember to take the time to go to the Republican primaries and vote against this turd.
