Hysterical .... Scary .... Sad

All three rolled into the current status of the Repulican nomination process!

Hysterical that the top two contenders consist of:

A serial philanderer ---- so much for the religiously pious right. Also a disgraced through scandal former Speaker of the House now making millions through lobbying and selling books.

A man so rich he is scared to release his tax returns making him an obvious member of the 1 percenters.

Scary in that one or the other could be the next President ---- don't ever forget that they gave us W or at least put him in position to steal it.

Sad that a once somewhat respectable political party has sunk so low.

And should have won. I got other problems with Mormon magic underwear wearing Mitt Mcflip Flop. Like his lying, his dismantling of companies for profit, tax evader and money hiding. His current values will destroy this country. I want newt to win and get slaughtered by Obama.

And despite his wealth, I am glad he won because he was a great president for the short time he was in office.

Your points about Mitt are quite valid.

I think Obama would beat either of them, but you never know.

2. In my lifetime, the only respectable period the national Republicans have had since Eisenhauer

was the gap between the nomination of McCain and the nomination of Palin. A very brief period of decency.

Unlike Mitt, Kennedy and Kerry spent their careers fighting for policies that make this a better nation for all the people.

Mitt is just another greedy selfish businessman who is out for himself.
