Republicans in my area are getting crazier than ever

We now have in our little county a Commissioner who is running on a platform of God and Guns. Literally; God and Guns. We already have three/three Republicans as Commissioners.

In addition, Doug Lamborn, one of the worst Repbulicans in Congress is being challanged in a primary by a guy who should be in a padded cell. Six years ago, when Lamborn won his seat, he won the nomination in a primary from two "moderate" Republicans, and I though our GOP had gone nuts then.

Is there an end in sight? I'm begining to think there is not.

Rmoney's Cheap Shot

I know that Rmoney is a complete dufus, a spoiled rotten rich kid who thinks the Presidency was preordained to be his in some Mormon fantasy/prophecy, but his cheap shot against President Carter was a new low, even for him.

In response to a report's question about whether Rmoney would have made the decision to kill Bin Laden, Rmoney had the temerity to say: even Jimmy Carter would have got that one right.

Now, I, like everyone, wished the hostage situation would have had a better outcome for President Carter, and he was the victim of a lot of bad circumstances, especially economically, and I won't say he was the best President we had in the 20th century. If anything, he may have been too nice to be President. But he is a honorable, indeed, truly great human being. He has done more to earn my respect since he left office than any former President I can think of.

For Rmoney to say what he did tells me everything I ever need to know about Rmoney's true character, and it ain't pretty.

In short, he's a snake in the grass, as my father would have said.

How anybody can vote for this worm is beyond me.
