I still can't decide if people...

...like Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, or Sarah Palin really believe the things they say or are just pandering for ratings or votes. But I am confident that until a leader emerges in the Republican Party who can stand up to the fringe, the loonies will continue to run the asylum and the GOP will remain a minority and largely irrelevant party.

It's not enough for David Frum or Joe Scarborough to speak out. (Scarborough calls out Mitt Romney. Please; I've seen jellyfish with more backbone than that guy.) The Republicans need an officeholder to step up. What about John McCain? He likes to think of himself as a leader and is forever talking about honor and doing what's best for the country. What's he afraid of? They never liked him in the first place. What are they going to do, primary him? Come on, John, strap on a pair!
