Republicans have mental difficulties

Why do Republicans hate people who are actually qualified to be President? Why do they insist on pretenders? People who are not leaders but play them on TV. The Republican party actually has some talent in the running and they go for Fred Thompson? They are fools! I really think Republicans are mentally challenged. How can I respect a party that ignores talent? Is it that they are so full of in-bred-jeds that the only people they feel comfortable with are “backee-chew’n” hick-wanna-bees? God help us if Earl The Cable Guy ran for President. I am sure a sizable percentage of the misanthropic idiots on the Republican right would vote for him. I think that all those red stated morons have taken one too many tornado flung 2x4’s to the head.
