So what are the overarching characteristics of each of the hopefuls for the GOP nomination for president?
Newt Gingrich is mean-spirited, polarizing, arrogant and, as Paul Krugman said, "a stupid man's view of what a smart man sounds like;"
Mitt Romney is a liar who will say anything and take any position to get elected;
Ron Paul is an anti-Semitic, racist, homophobe;
Rick Perry seems to be cognitively impaired, once accurately describing his own brain as "like chicken pot pie;"
Michele Bachmann must be insane given the things that come out of her mouth; and
Rick Santorum is a religious zealot obsessed with
gay sex.
Robert Reich wrote last week that our democracy can't work when one of our two political parties is not "grounded in the realities of governing." What is so disturbing about the half-dozen candidates who embody the hopes and dreams of the Republican Party is that they don't seem in to grounded in reality at all.
