The GOP continues to fail, hard...it's like they're doing it on purpose.
First, when they have the best chance in decades to unseat an incumbent Democratic President...look at the collection of clowns they put together to run on the Republican ticket.
Second, all they have to do is get out of the way and let the economy sink Obama all by itself...and instead Romney can't help sounding like a lying jackass every time he opens his mouth, at least when he's not busily trying to prove that he's more out of touch with regular Americans than a martian would be.
Third, just in case they haven't made themselves the headlines enough, making everyone forget about high unemployment and a stagnant economy...they pick Paul Ryan as VP hopeful. Really?
And now...when they want everyone to forget about everything else in the country except the economy...they loudly and triumphantly run out the abortion issue. Again. The one that the great majority of Americans think they are wrong on.
They've got the fool in Missouri telling us his very educated medical opinion that a woman can't get pregnant from a "legitimate rape", so there's no need to allow abortions in the case of rape or incest, and you've got the GOP platform committee running banning abortions up the flagpole again.
Of course, in typical GOP Orwellian DoubleSpeak, you will hear all the fucktards on Fox (not to mention the fucktards here) telling everyone that Obama is trying to distract everyone from the issue of the economy.
Again...when you Republicans let the TeaParty co-opt your party so you could get the votes you wanted from them, you handed them the keys to your car and got in the back seat...and now you are careening wildly back and forth on the wrong side of the freeway bouncing off of everything other than the one issue that could win the race for you.
You will lose this election...the most eminently winnable one in a looonnnggg time...and it will be entirely your own fault.
Way to go.
Fish on...
