You Know the GOP Has Gone Off the Deep End

when some of the power brokers believe Newt Gingrich isn't "conservative" enough, i.e., isn't fascistic enough.

Here is a candidate who waxed eloquently about bringing back orphanages and abolishing child labor laws, and because he hasn't yet promoted outright slavery, he's not making the grade.

The GOP may be trying to put their most electable candidate, or the one who has more of a chance than Huntsman of getting both the nomination and the presidency, Mitt Romney, on the back burner in yet another quest to throw the election to Obama. Or else Romney is playing rope-a-dope, letting all of the other candidates crash and burn before he gets the nomination himself.
