The "elephant" in the room for the GOP, PAC money is choosing for you.

Watching the GOP is like watching circus entertainment. "Morning Joe" has decided the GOP does not want Romney (duh...), I'd add to that, nor do they want Santorum, Gingrich, etc. The real problem is that a few wealthy donors, ala PAC money, are choosing the candidates & the GOP is already sunk due to that fact alone. None of them are speaking to the issues, it's laughable. No excitement by the people? No kidding?

Why would any of the people be excited over a candidate, when the only choice has been handed to you by one or two wealthy donors? There's a real lesson in this against PAC money, not even touching upon the morality of any of it. We are witnessing crazy extremism on all fronts, our system is truly broken.
