What we've learned from GOP primary campaign

DUVALL: What we've learned from GOP primary campaign

By Eric DuVall The Tonawanda News The Tonawanda News Wed Feb 29, 2012


Let us recount some of the things we have learned thanks to the GOP campaign to date — learned, not in the sense that we’re all smarter for having heard this stuff. Learned as in, “I never thought I would need a presidential candidate to show me this was a bad idea.”

The candidate responsible is in parenthesis. I swear, every one of these things happened. You can Google it if you want, though I don’t recommend it.

• There is a proper height for trees and you can find that height in Michigan. (Mitt Romney)

• It’s perfectly OK to strap your dog to the roof of a car for a road trip to Canada. (Romney)

• The digits 9-9-9 are best used to sell pizzas rather than tax plans and completely unhelpful in denying sexual harassment and infidelity. (Herman Cain)

• Wanting to go to college makes you a snob. (Rick Santorum)

• Contrary to what one might surmise based on the habits of 98 percent of women, we haven’t quite settled the moral argument over birth control yet. (Santorum)

• The shots that started the American Revolution were not, in fact, fired in New Hampshire. (Michele Bachmann)

• There is a considerable difference between the actor John Wayne and serial killer John Wayne Gasey. (Bachmann)
