Seriously... he may be the stupidest fuck the GOP has in congress.

He makes George W. Bush look like a rocket scientist.

1. The GOP idolizes stupidity.
Well, that's not entirely fair. They idolize stupid FIGUREHEADS, going all the way back to Reagan.

The real PTB in the GOP don't ever stand for office...

25. Most Republicans are proactively ignorant.
Whenever a thought or idea presents itself they run the other way as fast as their little piggy legs will carry them.

7. Because he is from the SOUTH and dumb is "smart" mouth
Can'tor is from the South, of course he got elected. He followed the rules is in lock step with repug ideologies and he is a good boy. Right now he is taking some of the flack off of glory boy Ryan. The man has no honor, he never participated in the talks in good faith. It was a SHOW of pretend cooperation, so he could say HE TRIED but those mean ole dems just wouldn't give on tax cuts and killing medicare. At least I sure hope that is the case.

10. Why??
Why would you generalize like this. The people in his district may be stupid, but the entire South is not stupid. I live in the South. Not all of us are dumb

14. I strongly disagree.
There's a lot of competition among stupid (R)s for the title of King (and Queen) Dumbass.

23. Does that really matter? Do you think Herman Cain is popular with Republicans because of his ideas?
No, they want to feel vindicated bashing Obama.

"I'm not racist! I voted for Cain!"

Same thing
