6. What A Pitiful Party...
...and one I'd call more a morgue than a party. Rectorum is just one of a long list of flawed candidates. As of the first "announced" candidates only Ron Paul is a current office holder...and from a small district in Red Texas. Of the others, Rectorum was voted out, Mittens runs from his past (the only candidate of all the "prospects" to have won in a predominately blue state...and that was over a decade ago), Cain (who??), Gary Johnson (spent the last decade smokin' the wacky tabbacky) and the Gnewtmeister whose only electoral victories were in a suburban district in Georgia (then he was all but drummed out of the party in '98).

Things don't get any better with the "expected" or wannabes...like a half-term (and full-time idiot) governor of a state with more Walruses than people (definitely no offense to my dear Alaskan DU'ers), a TV Celebrity/Con Man who contemplated running as a Democrat in '08 (but none of us took him serious), two governors from red states and a full-blown psychotic from a small red enclave in a predominately Blue state who stands little chance of ever winning a statewide race yet a national one. Pretty sad...and also very amusing.

It's amazing how the "moralists" in the rushpublican party have "modernized" in recent years. There was no way a divorced could be nominated until St. Raygun came along. Then they've looked the other way to convicted felons (remember when Ollie North tried to run?), adulterers (take a bow Mr. Gingrich) and any real world experience. In sports terms, their bench is threadbare...a minor minor league roster with little coming up in the farm system.

As far as Rectorum, that smug bastard needs to be stomped on again. Maybe this time he'll go back to his McMansion and we'll never have to see his slimy smirk again...
