That when those same people will go back to Ted Kennedy's past or bring up Robert Byrd and the Klan.

They should have a World's Dumbest Politicians on TruTV. But, the majority of the hour would be taken up with Republicans. I don't think Ron Paul supporters are Newt supporters. http://thinkprogress.org/economy/2011/12/04/381510/upton-cant-explain-tax-cuts-jobs/ From one of the few Republicans who talks the truth. http://thinkprogress.org/economy/2011/12/02/381058/boehner-payroll-tax-chicken-[!@#$%^&*]/ Boehner once again shows where his thoughts lay. http://thinkprogress.org/politics/2011/12/01/380148/john-danforth-slams-gop-field/ From a home state Republican. Ron Paul, Jon Huntsman Refuse To Attend Donald Trump’s Debate: It’s ‘beneath the office of the presidency’ | In what’s been characterized as “the clown hosting the circus,” business mogul and media hound Donald Trump will moderate Newsmax’s GOP presidential debate this month. Current front runner Newt Gingrich happily accepted Trump’s invitation, but candidates Jon Huntsman and Ron Paul are declining to participate because they question the seriousness of the event. “The selection of a reality television personality to host a presidential debate that voters nationwide will be watching is beneath the office of the Presidency and flies in the face of that office’s history and dignity,” Paul’s campaign said, adding, “To be sure, Mr. Trump’s participation will contribute to an unwanted circus-like atmosphere.” Trump naturally returned fire: “Few people take Ron Paul seriously and many of his views and presentation make him a clown-like candidate…I am glad he and Jon Huntsman, who has inconsequential poll numbers or a chance of winning, will not be attending the debate and wasting the time of the viewers who are trying very hard to make a very important decision.” Muslims compared to cockroaches at St. Louis ACT! for America event | St. Louis Post-Dispatch’s Tim Townsend attended an anti-Muslim event hosted by ACT! for America this week where he witnessed the following remark. “They’re everywhere,” one woman in the audience whispered to her friend. “They’re like cockroaches.” Townsend concludes, “Unfortunately for American Muslims, we are about to enter a presidential election year, during which groups like ACT! for America and the Clarion Fund have historically spread anti-Islam messages that promote fear of ‘the other.’” As we explained in Fear, Inc., the hate group ACT!, founded by Islamophobe Brigitte Gabriel, has a budget of nearly $1 million and comprises over 550 chapters and 170,000 members worldwide.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/12/03/newt-gingrich-ron-paul_n_1127371.html?ref=politics These are some truly awful Republicans. I laugh not only at them, but the entire party. They are destroying themselves right in front of my eyes, and I hope that is what it takes to leave these Tea Party folks and ultra right-wing people far behind.

Speaks to his character. But, many on MSNBC and all on Fixed News or CNN will not bring this up. That's fine with me, because policies are this side of the 1940s anyway. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/12/04/ron-paul-donald-trump-debate_n_1127975.html?ref=politics http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/12/01/payroll-tax-cut-extension_n_1124661.html Once again, they tell us where they stand.

That's the shame, Carl. They fall for this garbage and then have to wait 6 months to a year to correct their mistakes. It they succeed next year, it should serve as a HUGE message to anyone who thinks getting into office and then ignoring the will of the people is the right thing to do.

Big defeats for Republicans. I wonder if these two measures are signs to come. Personally, I think whoever wins the Republican nom is going to get blast next year by Obama and his campaign. How anyone can put Romney or any of the other candidates over this POTUS is beyond me. Not trying to get anything started, but none of them have NO PLAN whatsoever.
