I can’t believe Democrats are falling for this brilliant piece of performance art by the Republicans. Isn’t it obvious that this field of “candidates” has been deliberately and carefully assembled to give gullible liberals and the lamestream media a severe case of the vapors? I mean, look at ‘em: glib 1 percentism, racist rants; filthy neologism; xenophobia; birtherism; rank hypocrisy; social reactionism; the butchery of simple history. Hell, they even included a Texas governor that makes the last one look like Abe Lincoln. It’s like a ham-fisted Michael Moore satire. Some GOP leaders thought it was going overboard to throw Newt Gingrich into the mix, that surely their scheme would be discovered, but what a virtuoso performance he’s given; what can one say but “bravo!” After this diversionary tactic, come its convention next summer, the GOP will trot out its Colin Powell-Mitch Daniels ticket, which will kick Obama’s butt in November.
