50 Shades of Fray - The Big Question

A friend of mine asked me today, "How, after watching the Democratic National Convention could anyone in their right mind not be a Democrat?"   To which I replied, "The real questions is how any Republican who watched their own convention or who looks at the religious lunatics running their party can still be Republican?"

Here we have grown men who believe that forcible rape cannot possibly result in pregnancy because of the magical uterine pixie that prevents these kinds of things from happening.  Here we have grown men who believe the world and the entire universe was created six-thousand years ago by the mythical god of the ancient Hebrew nation.  Here we have grown men who think climate change is a "myth" and that Jesus and his Apostles sailed to America to save the American Indians.  Here we have grown men who somehow cannot fathom that having two divorces and three wives and connections to escort services might somehow conflict with their position as "family values" candidates.  And here, too, we have grown women like Ann Coulter.

The real question is this:  how long will it take before Republicanism in it's current form ends up on the scrap heap of bad ideas along with Chia Pets and the Flat Earth.
