Apparently a lot of Republicans are unhappy about Rush Limbaugh calling Sandra Fluke a slut, which is good to hear. And THANK YOU Ron Paul, for totally seeing through Rush's bullshit and realizing the "apology" was about his bottom line, NOT actual remorse or shame.

I would like to think that the response from Republicans to Limbaugh's verbal diarrhea means that they are pulling back from the abyss of batshit craziness but I know I would be wrong.

Yes. I always really liked McCain (before he ran for pres, that was kind of a disaster).

Likely just pulling back from the abyss of being totally upfront about batshit craziness...

After all, we all know how concerned John McCain is over "women's health".

Had he not picked Sarah Palin as his running mate, I would have had a much harder decision in 2008. She scared me back then. And sadly, i miss the days when she was the scariest thing in politics.

I always wondered what would have happened if McCain had actually been president instead of GW Bush in the first place. I mean, he obviously wasn't prepared to run for president at that time, but I have to think that someone who'd actually served in the military (and without the Bush family hang-ups) might have at least handled the Iraq situation better.

My best friend identifies as republican (for the fiscal end), and she definitely voted for Obama. Sarah Palin scared a lot of people.

I liked McCain in 2000 as well. I was a Howard Dean girl back then but in the end I would have voted for McCain over Gore. BUT in 2008 it became pretty increasingly clear to me that John McCain is suffering from some form of dementia. I've worked in that field in the past and a lot of his behaviors were pretty strong markers. I can't remember specific incidents now 4 years later but when he kept saying things and then later claiming he didn't say them at all, not that he was misquoted or it was taken out of context, that didn't say them, period, I really think he honestly believed he didn't say them because he didn't remember it.

I am seeing this from most of the political candidates. Selective memory. Gah.
