Help me out here: is it just selection bias? Are there incidences of modern Republicans saying things that aren’t stupid? Ever? On any subject? Because I have a hard time believing that lowlifes like Inhofe or Palin or Bush or Perry or Santorum (or Limbaugh or Hannity or Coulter or Grace or O’Reilly) might occasionally get something right even by chance. It seems to me that someone would have to be a total meathead - the sort who forgets to breathe now and then - to read (or have read to them) what these . . . these Republicans have to say and then think “Yeah, these people have reasonable political stances on important issues” then head off to vote for them. I’d be impressed if they could manage to think “I like soup.”
It staggers the mind that Republicans are a viable force in American politics. They make me think the best thing America could do as a nation is to flood the continental US and leave it to the cephalopods. How do they (Republicans, not cuttlefish) attain positions of power, seeing as how they’re so very, very stupid?
