GOP Candidate Warns:Yoga Leads to Satan,God Created the Tea Party,...etc

[Crossless2.0]

Ah, so the fulfillment of my prophecy reveals itself - the GOP is indeed doubling down on batshit insane, and ahead of schedule!

Exactly... when Republicans get beat because they're too far on the fringe right, they bring out candidates who are even further to the right. Then they decry people like McCain for not being conservative enough.

I know there should be no room for amazement when contemplating the stupidity, venality, and bully-bluster of today's GOP, but their willful self-destruction is . . . astonishing.

Less than fifteen years ago, I remember reading articles that speculated that the GOP might have a lock on the federal government for the next generation (the smug conservative talking heads certainly thought so). And today? They've degenerated into a ghastly freak show with no policy positions that can't be written on a cocktail napkin, a procession of "leaders" each more ridiculous than the one before, and no earthly clue why so many of us hate their guts. It's incredible.

Are there no adults left in that party? Seriously? In my lifetime, they've moved from William Buckley (a serious man with a sparkling wit, whatever one thought of his politics) to the most inane, humorless, anti-intellectual group of huckstering self-promoters in this republic's history. "Shameful" is a word that comes to mind.

So is "extinct."
