WTF has happened to the GOP. It is just sad.
They've gone all Grilled Cheezus. It's all they have left. The old tried and true Republican ways (those of Reagan) haven't worked. The contract days of Newt's previous regime failed when he cheated, lied and broke the law. The neocon warmonger days of Bush are buried with bin Laden.
Their only choice is to pander to the crazy Jesus crowd, hoping something, anything, will stick.
