Linky:
But in this dysfunctional right wing political climate, there are never any consequences for lying or promoting false outrages. They simply ignore the inevitable debunking, then move right on to the next phony story, as if they were never caught hyperventilating over nothing. Then they refer back to the phony story endlessly, as if it were never proven false.
Which about sums it up. Look, I'm not convinced the GOP has a single candidate in their clown-car-of-fail list of Presidential Candidates that can beat Obama. I don't even think they're working on putting one together. Yeah, I'm sure the tea party is planning their candidate but let's be honest:
1. Any candidate beholden enough to the Tea Party to get a presidential nod will be a laugh.
2. The Tea Party is a short lived mess. Their hard core constituents will move on as soon as the next season of WWF wrestling starts. The 'moderates' will be gone as soon as the energy is gone.
The thing is, there are plenty of legitimate criticisms of Obama, it's just that the GOP is focusing on the trivial non-issues like ZOMG ILLEGULZ. Predictably, they'll also take the bait on the DADT thing and prove to moderates yet again that they're the party of wanton hysterics. Pointless expenditure of political energy doesn't result in a GOP win, folks.
