The people who still consider themselves Rushpublicans don’t understand why we have no respect for their beliefs anymore.

News Flash, Rushpublicans: THIS IS WHY. How on Earth can any of us take you seriously when your top people are a racist money-grubber who won’t hold a job, a religious nut who apparently sees himself as Jesus’ personal representative to America, and a dog-abusing elitist?

It is really a shame that Ensign and Sanford knocked themselves out of the running, since I’d have even more to spit at if they’d stayed behind. Oh well; maybe Newt will put his feet in. My posts will write themselves if he does…

The Republican presidential primary process doesn’t kick off for more than two years, but perhaps it’s never too early to take a measure of where a race that’s far from starting stands.

It appears to be a three-way race between former White House hopeful Mitt Romney, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, and Mike Huckabee — also an ex-presidential aspirant. Romney stands at 26 percent in the new survey, compared to 21 percent for Palin, and 19 percent for Huckabee.

But the poll, which surveyed 455 Republicans and Republican-leaning voters between July 10-12, carries a margin of error of plus or minus 5 percentage points, meaning all three are essentially locked in a dead heat.

Newt Gingrich, the former House Speaker and current conservative commentator stands at 14 percent while Tim Pawlenty and Haley Barbour — the governors of Minnesota and Mississippi respectively — are each in low single digits.

The Gallup survey shows similar results to those of a recent CNN poll that also indicated the same three Republicans are locked in hypothetical race for the party’s nomination.

But while Romney, Palin, and Huckabee are clustered on top, the survey shows voters hold a much higher favorability rating of the soon-to-be ex-Alaska governor than the other two Republicans. Palin scores a 72 percent approval rating compared with Huckabee’s 59 percent and Romeny’s 56 percent.

Go ahead and explain that one. Do the Rushpublican voters just not care, or are they actually in favor of thieving, hypocritical, lazy racists?

Nah. There’s no way I can have a serious discussion with anyone who thinks that Caribou Barbie is a leader. She’s hit the door so many times now it won’t stop swinging…
