She represents the fringe right, the extreme right, the idiot right. He's identifying himself as moderate right and, therefore, more able to be actually elected President. And he is dead right. Because the fringe Right, Radical Right, has a much smaller chance of being elected. Because the frontrunner Republican (Michele Bachman) does not believe in evolution or global warning.

As I said in my earlier post, I want to know more about the guy. If I felt he might be a stronger leader and NOT get this country deeper into the doo-doo, I might vote for him over Obama. The thing is, I want a viable Republican candidate so that if we do elect a Republican, we'll have a President and not some idiot whack job teabagger from the extreme right you has their head up their butt because they're too frackin' stupid to understand science and who want to cram religion down our throats. I want a decent choice so that I can make one. So, yeah, I think I'll vote in the Republican Primary. Unless they're all whack jobs. Well, then I might vote for the whackiest figuring they'll be the least likely to win. I might. As I said in my earlier post, I want to know more about the guy.

It takes a true extremist to consider low taxes, a balanced budget, and as few regulations as is possible to be fringe beliefs. The problem is the people who consider the Tea Party to be extreme.

I believe in evolution. In fact, I believe in evolution so much, I'd like to see it become the foundation of our social and moral underpinning. By that definition, I’m a moderate.

I am missing something I guess with this guy. I really don't understand what the big deal is. Okay...he believes in evolution and global warming. This means nothing to me. Why is this even newsworthy? For real....what is this all about? I don't get it. Is this supposed to mean he is a moderate? These two things? Okay…I am being serious now.

For real….what is this all about? I don’t get it.
Is this supposed to mean he is a moderate? These two things?

I would solve the problem of politicians feeling compelled to play to a stupid electorate by removing stupid's right to vote. Well, I would need to be King by divine right to get that done so I suppose any political questions would be moot, as would any religious questions for that matter. How’s this for being right wing?
