Hell, if the Republican party could dump all the Christian bullshit they've been loaded down with I might consider supporting them.

Just split off the god-folk into their own party.
“You shouldn’t be worried about my faith influencing me,” he continued. “You should hope that my faith influences me.”

- Marco Rubio

“America does not make sense unless we believe in a creator,” Rubio told a crowd of about 250 near Iowa City, referencing the question.

WTF? Hmm, he may have a point. America's creator:

Lindsey Graham pulls a wtf.
"My party has gone bats*** crazy."
...
"The most dishonest person in America is a woman, who's about to become president. How could that be? My party has gone bats*** crazy," Graham said.
...
Reading from notes, Graham said, "I was asked the hardest question of my political life. Do you agree with Donald Trump that Ted Cruz is the biggest liar in politics? Too close to call."

"I know exactly when Ted's going to drop out of the race. March 12th. That's Canadian week at Myrtle Beach, when all of our Canadian friends get 10 percent off," he said.
...
Graham then pulled out a white baseball cap emblazoned with Trump's "Make America Great Again" slogan and endorsed the New Yorker.

"I endorse Donald Trump and hope the Graham magic still exists," he said.

Paul Ryan:

"When I see something that runs counter to who we are as a party and as a country, I will speak up, so today I want to be very clear about something,” Ryan said. “If a person wants to be the nominee of the Republican Party, there can be no evasion and no games. They must reject any group or cause that is built on bigotry. This party does not prey on people’s prejudices. We appeal to their highest ideals. This is the party of Lincoln.”

It ain't the even the party of Reagan anymore. If Ronnie came back from the dead today, he'd have to run as a donkey.

You've got to read the whole article, not just the quote.

It's pretty funny actually.

Harry Reid is one dumb motherfucker.
“When Trump calls immigrants rapists and murderers, he’s just doing what he’s learned from generations of conservatives,” Reid said. “The Republican Party has become the party of Trump.”
...
“This is precisely the kind of moral cowardice that gave rise to Donald Trump,” Reid said, calling on McConnell and Ryan to unequivocally repudiate Trump.

When I think of all the problems your dead in the fucking water party ... no that's not quite enough ... dead in the middle of the water of the Great Fucking Salt Lake party has, "morality" is somewhere near the bottom of the list. In fact, your party needs to get the fuck out of the morality biz altogether and play the Mr. Spock logic card. That touchy-feely hippie bullshit has been cornered by the other half.

They're trying to be good at everything and in turn sucking at everything.

I agree with malcolm on this one.

It's at least as funny as Obama's Muslim socialist joke, which is pretty much the current bar for funny politicians.

Alabama governor's responses to fuck buddy allegations border on Clintonesque.
When a reporter asked if the governor was in love with the adviser he's rumored to have had an affair with, Bentley said this:

"I love many members of my staff, in fact, all the members of my staff. Do I love some more than others, absolutely."

Wow.

And when a reporter asked if that taped phone conversation was the only instance of wrong behavior, Bentley said: "No."

Open carry at the RNC?

You know what would be a nightmare for gun control people? If this happened and no shooting took place.

A bunch of responsible gun owners in a headed crowd and nobody gets shot?

Why will it be a nightmare? It won't even be a headline.

You have a point.

Like how all those armed folks went to Washington a few years back and the MSM focused on how dangerous it was, but nobody brought up that nobody got shot.

Overture, curtains, lights...
A long and winding road led to the moment last night when all three remaining Republican presidential candidates backed away from their previous pledge to support the party's eventual nominee.

While Donald Trump has been flirting with throwing out the pledge for some time now, he was joined by his fellow candidates during Tuesday night's CNN town hall. Sen. Ted Cruz and Gov. John Kasich both suggested that they would renege on the pledge if the real estate mogul ends up being the nominee.
