How weird can they get?

The one thing that is attractive about Republican candidates is how funny they are.  In fact, I find it almost impossible to write or talk about them one at a time -- they all sort of blend together into one mass of hysteria. I'm going to try.  I'll put my whole mind to it (so long as it holds out).  The problem here is not a lack of material supplied by them, but in setting it up right.  Perhaps it will be easier just to let them stand as is.

Meghan McCain says that Catherine O'Donnell, running for Senator in Delaware, is a "Nut job".  Now, O'Donnell has at least said "I am not a witch," but we have no such assurance from Meghan.  The quote itself is so reminiscent of Richard Nixon's "I am not a crook," that it leaves one suspicious.  She has the same campaign advisors as did Sarah Palin, so we can not expect that much from her.  We do know, however, that O'Donnell will not masturbate in office as she has proclaimed that anyone who does so has lust in their heart.

Sister Sarah seems to desire the appellation of "Momma Grizzley."  I'd rather trust a Bear, but I'll leave her to Tina Fey as I can not distinguish between her and the SNL portrait.  Unfortunately, neither can she.

Sharon Angle put out a campaign ad that had some rather evil looking hispanic youths (they same ones the Republican from Louisiana, Vitters, had in his add proving we have a shortage of evil looking hispanics) that got her into trouble.  So, she addressed a crowd of Hispanics, saying "Some of you look Asian to me.  We are a melting pot.  I've been called the first Asian in the Legislature," or words to that effect.  Funny, she doesn't look Asian, whatever THAT means.  Besides, she thinks those people in the ad were Canadians because they were crossing the border.  The Canadian border with Nevada, not the Nevada border with Mexico (neither of which I can find on a map).

Females have no advantage when it comes to funny.  The son of Ron Paul, who calls himself Rand Paul, must have been named after Ann Rand (I know there is a "Y" in there somewhere) who was sort of a frustrated Social Darwinist, survival of the fittest and all that.  What he is proving is survival of the mediocre, who, admittedly, are the fittest so far as survival is concerned.  His opponent, a Democrat is pretty strange enough calling him "unchristian".  He is the one who certified himself as an optician or, as Mel Brooks said, "Put your hand on a rock, look up into the sky, and say 'I AM'" an optician!  Only way to do it.  Gotta have confidence in yourself.

In Alaska there is a very strange man called Miller, a Republican, kind of.  His position is that he will not answer any questions.  Anyone who does, is grabbed by his private security squad (called "Drop Zone", not Blackwater), put in handcuffs, and arrested.  They then called the local Alaskan police who tell them to knock it off and get serious.  Perhaps there is more, but I don't remember.  Sister Sarah endorsed him but doesn't like him anymore, I guess.

In Colorado, some guy named Buck has decided that homosexuality is like alcoholism -- partly birth, but completely choice.

Carl Paladino, New York Governor wanna be keeps threatening to slug reporters and debates Eliot Spitzer's ex-prostitutes, or so I gather.  She said the difference between her and the other candidates is that "I produce on time". 

In California, one woman who as CEO fired 30,000 workers says she can solve the unemployment problem there by going to the senate and another who ran ebay wants to run the state.

Now, the only one that seems to have made an interesting point is Rand Paul who, I have been told, wants Churches to pay property tax.  All of them, however, want to get rid of Social Security, one of the few social safety nets left after 30 years of systematic destruction.

One the other hand, look at France.  The conservative government decided to raise the retirement age to 62, that's right, 62, and they have riots, strikes, all the oil refineries have been shut down, tires burning in the street, students boycotting, workers boycotting, one mass revolt, etc.   

Our election is wonderfully choreographed to avoid any clear understanding of what the candidates actually stand for and the focus is kept on pure theater of the inane.  Enjoy your vote in two week's time.
