Every major Republican player is a certifiable whack job.

Chris Christie? I liar who is skillful enough to avoid discussing his hate-filled bully tactics in public.

Rand Paul, an Ayn Randian with a bogus "professional certification" with serious daddy issues.

Ted Cruz, a Canadian bomb-thrower, also with serious daddy issues.

Rick Perry. Well, he got a new pair of glasses, but is still as dumb as a stump.

No point in even discussing Sarah or Michele.

Who the hell else is running? Are these people out of their minds? They really think this crew has any presidential chops? Seriously?

I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee that says, 'Fool me once, shame on ... shame on you. Fool me... You can't get fooled again!'"

But look at what we've got to work with. I also have no idea if he has plans to run.

Look out for Jeb Bush hiding in the wings. I hope he holds off for as long as possible. I love watching all the Rep nut jobs, hope they all make to the debates.

yes I am serious. No doubt he will have some big Koch money behind him.
I actually see him as a front runner early on - he took the crazy RW agenda and put it in in Wisconsin and then withstood a recall. He is an easily controlled puppet. Ignore him at your peril.

Sure he has baggage - and there is that corruption investigation - but he ain't yesterdays news and he ain't Washington and he hasn't buddied up to Obama.
