I have a hunch that the first candidate to state unequivocally that the earth is flat will clinch the GOP nomination.
Absolutely. The current crop of declared, republican candidates perpetuates the idea that there is no intellectual requirement for the Presidency. Instead, what we have from the right wing of GOP is something straight out of a Farrelly Brothers film, say "Dumb and Dumber". Evolution is considered to be an elite or advant-garde "theory"....
Speaking at Regent University not too long ago, Perry made light of his poor grades at Texas A&M. (Is it a good idea to diss academic performance in front of an audience of college students?) D's in veterinary science, "feeds and feeding" and a course called "Meats." Even a C in gym....:smilelol:
Palin supposedly graduated after just nine semesters - at what. seven separate institutions - four of which were community colleges? We all know how well college course credits transfer. This bunch makes W's self-proclaimed C-student status look like a Rhodes scholar.
Bachmann has become a running punch line. Her head staffers recently quit - as did Newt's entire staff a while back. Stupidity is now apparently a party plank. Blockheads on parade.
I certainly hope one of these chumps runs. I look forward to the amusement value....
