This is the strangest primary of them all. The GOP is talking up Class War,

[denem]

tearing up the narrative of 'job creators', putting an ugly gloss on the 1%, talking about looters and outsourcing, all in the name of taking down the front runner.

I don't get it.

1. They are desperate and stupid

[Demeter]

9. haha that sums up Newt's contribution atm

[Matariki]

3. And if any one of them would win the presidency

you can be damn sure that talk would stop immediately.

[wandy]

5. It's the republican cult I don't understand.

If you have been following the canidates talking points, well it's like this.............
A republican canidate walks up to a republican voter and says..............

I like to fire people, so I'll fire you and watch you starve. And don't look for no stinking food stamps. This is because it's you're bad lifestile that got you sick in the firstplace, so give my backer here more money. You terrable BAh.... perosn. All you want is a free ride and have abortions. Well go ahead and have more kids you can't afford cause ya got no choice. I'll be by to check you're bedroom drawers and if you give me any shit about it, my god will strike you down.

The republican voter then says. Yes, YES, anything but that commey Keynan. Please sir can I have another?

11. haha true; their minds are a glossolalia of loosely related soundbytes and stereotypes.

Sad actually - the end result of political cult mind control. Maybe this is the year they have a collective nervous breakdown and start seeing straight again.

[opihimoimoi]

6. The Emotional GOPer Disease Strikes again...SLASH & BURN tactics prevails resulting in self destruct

[emulatorloo]

7. It is like Christmas every day. I am glad people are getting an education about Bain and Romney

[denem]

8. There's enough material on Bain and Romney to open a bookstore.

[cally]

10. The GOP has been quite entertaining so far

I only hope that the voters are paying attention enough to understand what the GOP brand means for the country.

[EC]

12. I'm beginning to think Frank Luntz finally told them all

they better hop on the express because defending the statis que is going to fail. These guys will say anything to get elected, doesn't mean they mean it.

[anAustralianobserver]

13. It's like Romney's giving the GOP base an excuse to escape from the cult.

The establishment is doubling down, now pitting Christie against Newt. Maybe this represents the big schism of the base from the corrupt establishment; or will they fall in line yet again?

At the end of this there might only be Huntsman-like conservatives and Paulite libertarians left standing in 2 fragments; with extreme social conservatives marginalised.

Currently, Gingrich seems to be successfully rounding up the Tea Party populists and reactionaries and making an argument to the establishment that he is their last hope to stop this.

[applegrove]

14. Independants make up 40% of the voters in the NH primary. Perchance they are tacking to the left to

pick up a few moderate independants.

[Spazito]

15. In public, they are talking up Class War, etc. but, behind closed doors...

they are reassuring the Koch bros et al that they are still in their pockets and will do their bidding. They are as they ever were and, unfortunately, all too many will fall for their swill if only because they have the prerequisite (R) after their names.
