@randahl then you weren't paying attention. Sarah Palin. John McCaine looked like he was going to vomit when he introduced her as running mate. Gw bush. Mediocre child of northeast elite privilege pretending to be texan. Lazy. Surrounded with right wing extremists like Cheney. Started war under false claims. The tea party contract on america. Newt Gingrich. Increasingly insane fundamentalist backed midwest types made mockery of gop. History pretends reagan more than right wing b movie actor etc.
