The Republicans' Farcical Candidates - article from Der Spiegel

The Republicans' Farcical Candidates - A Club of Liars, Demagogues and Ignoramuses - Spiegel online

 

"The US Republican race is dominated by ignorance, lies and scandals. The current crop of candidates have shown such a basic lack of knowledge that they make George W. Bush look like Einstein. The Grand Old Party is ruining the entire country's reputation."

"It's horrifying because these eight so-called, would-be candidates are eagerly ruining not only their own reputations and that of their party, the party of Lincoln lore. Worse: They're ruining the reputation of the United States."

George, thanks for the link!  I liked the article.  These "candidates" really are a bunch of clowns.  I think it would be appropriate to start the debates by having a little car drive around in circles on the stage, then the doors pop open about out come the Rebublican "candidates".  They should all be wearing floppy big shoes and red noses, too. 

I found the part about Gingrich especially enlightening... I will be using this in the future.

"Great clip, Tony.  People need to realize that not everybody superfluously and automatically thanks god in a time of crisis.  Maybe he's learned a lesson and become a smarter man. "
