In 1996, the Republicans ran a 73-year-old Bob Dole. They lost.
In 2000, they jumped ahead a generation and ran a 54-year-old George W. Bush. They won.
In 2008, they went back a generation and ran a 72-year-old McCain. They lost.
And for 2012, they are actually considering running a 69-year-old N. Leroy Gingrich?
I see now why everyone calls them 'the Stupid Party'.

GOP stupid for considering Newt? The current field is far from perfect....

RINO Romney? He bristles at criticism like Obama.

Michele Bachmann, who is ever attempting to put her foot in her mouth?

Santorum, who supported Arlen Specter and lost his last election try for a lower office?

Huntsman, who is a stealth Dem?

Perry — another tongue-tied Texan?

Ron Paul, who would be a foreign policy disaster?

This is the field. Like it or not, there will not be a knight in shining armor to ride in and save the GOP. The Dems tried that with their “messiah” in 2008, and look what it did to the rest of us.

You’re so smart, why didn’t I think of that? In fact, maybe you can tell us all who you’re for.

But, oh just one thought for you, with all due respect.

Ronald Reagan was, ah let me see, oops! Sorry 70 when he took office in February, 1981!!!!
And Winston Churchill was, hmmm let me see, at the beginning of WWI...oops! Sorry again, he was...ah...60!!!!!

I think someone else is sounding kind of stupid this morning, don’t you? :-)
