The GOP/Tea Party's "bat-spit crazy" formula may turn out to be a winner in November
Going Rogue The elephants are coming!
No matter how you view it, it's difficult to deny that the current election cycle has been marked by a higher than normal degree of daft political theater and a zanier than zany turn in the direction of mindless exceptionalism on the part of many GOP/Tea Party candidates.
Case in point: How easy is it to imagine the initial shock many witnesses must have undergone when during a debate two weeks from a potentially historic mid-term election, Delaware GOP/Tea Party Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell turned to her opponent and asked: "Where in the Constitution is the separation of church and state?" The audience of law students burst into laughter.
In fact, just a day or so earlier, another audience endured an equally absurd, though less humorous incident when Nevada GOP/Tea Party congressional candidate Sharron Angle flat out told members of local high school's Hispanic Student Union that, "I don't know that all of you are Latino. Some of you look a little more Asian to me."
Meanwhile, I'm certain that quite a few Americans instinctively rolled their eyes a few weeks back upon hearing Newt Gingrich's channeling of Dinesh D'Souza's deranged psycho-babble: "only if you understand Kenyan, anti-colonial behavior," sniffed Professor Newt, "can you begin to piece together (President Obama's) actions."
Remarkably, it doesn't end there. One can only imagine the initial reaction of anyone who's seen footage of a sinister-looking GOP/Tea Party New York Governor's candidate and racist philanderer "Crazy" Carl Paladino, threatening to "take out" a New York Post reporter, or how many Americans' were floored upon hearing Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann's daffy assertion that: "There isn't even one study that can be produced that shows that carbon dioxide is a harmful gas." It is a statement that runs neck-and-neck with Kentucky GOP/Tea Party Senate hopeful Rand Paul's hypothesis that --sometimes (coal) mines just collapse, you know? Nobody's fault. I think it is called gravity."
