They still believe everything they hear, even when two consecutive talking points contradict each other.

I've been laughing all year at how Romney has been unable to win over the undying loyalty of the easiest voters in the country to win, right-wing authoritarians.

Seriously, all one has to do to drag out the "base" is appear strong, and then scare the shit out of them. Romney hasn't been able to do either of those things... yet.

So, what's he gonna do now? How is he going to frighten the base into coming out and voting to raise taxes on themselves so that rich people can continue to suck up America's wealth?

We have to assume that the Republicans have a plan. Can anyone see a legal solution to Mitt's problem?

And if we can't, then what are Mitt's illegal options, the ones he appears to prefer, anyway?

They are the party of Palin and now Eastwood. They are a bunch of short term thinking fuck ups and it's becoming more evident by the day.
