The Republican Party is a mess January 26, 2012

I think Mitt Romney will probably get the nomination. I say it because he’s tacking ever rightward in a move to appease. But then I’d love to see either he or Gingrich get it because either one virtually ensures that President Obama gets a second term.
And lets face it, Gingrich has enough baggage to fill a pullman car, while Romney has uttered some inexplicably stupid things such as how he likes firing people, or how corporations are people, or how he can afford to throw out a $10,000 bet during one of the debates. And now his tacking to the one man, one woman schtick.
The Republican party seems to have suffered from embracing the Tea Baggers. And let me explain again, they CHOSE that name, not me. I just prefer to refer to them with their original moniker.
Plus the eight years of George W. Bush and the Republican controlled congress did some serious damage. Bush himself is politically radioactive. You don’t see him trotted out for any fundraisers, etc.
I really do hope that President Obama gets a second term. I have that wish because during a second term it’s likely that anywhere from 1 to 3 U.S. Supreme Court justices could either retire or die. And I do not want Republican ideologues to replace them. I’d much prefer jurists with a solid grounding in non-ideological law.
Great post. I agree with everything you say. I also think that, during a second term, President Obama might “evolve” to the point of endorsing marriage equality. All the of the Republican candidates, and there have been far too many of them, have done nothing but make each other look foolish in the eyes of at least half the country’s voters. I hope they keep it up.
The trump card is (in my cynical view) the american people, who will forgo logic in hopes the GOP will put out a panacea of all ills.
I hope the Dems can take back the House…
