SD, Many of the Republican loyalists actually believe and support the point of view, if you read Ryan quotes, they are smoother but in the vein.

Not, just attract, but encourage and nurture them. Why? Because, the only way they can get people to support their economic policies is to exploit fear and prejudice among those ignorant enough to buy into it. |

It seems to be a self-perpetuating cycle - it's been that way since Reagan, but it has gotten much worse since Obama took office... There seem to be many out there who see in Obama's face an America unlike their rather rosy memories, and one they no longer understand. And it promotes fear. But they cannot say that out loud. So it comes out in a dozen nutty ways, from Anti-Abortion to Climate Denial to demands for massive increases in spending on the military to Doublethink on the causes of the Recession. To anyone looking for logical solutions, it is a very frustrating time. Logic isn't even on the agenda. |

It is what happens when a political party allows itself to be hijacked by the extreme US Right Wing. The history of the hijacking my well have started just before Regan's ascendancy to power. They have yet to find another candidate so completely coated by Teflon. |

Like the Dems don't have it's share of nutcases.... and Canada as well. Thank God, in Canada the liberal nutcases haven't won out in the last decade and a half.... it's been the silent fiscally conservative majority. |
