....they are so frippin' lame:

From the LA Times

And just like that, another GOP frontrunner is on the defensive after
another debate. This time it's Newt Gingrich under the microscope after
he seemed to advocate what critics call a form of amnesty for illegal
immigrants.

The former House speaker weighed in during an exchange on illegal
immigration and border security during Tuesday night's national
security-focused debate on CNN.

"I do not believe that the people of the United States are going to take
people who’ve been here for a quarter of a century ... [and] separate
them from their families and expel them," Gingrich said. "I do believe
we should control the border. I do believe we should have very severe
penalties."

He continued, "I don't believe that the party that says it's the party
of the family is going to say it’s going to destroy families that have
been here for more than a quarter of a century. I'm prepared to take the
heat in saying: Let's be humane in enforcing the law."

Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann immediately seized on the statement.

Well, of course she did.

This is a perfect example of what is wrong with the Republican Party. It
is controlled by doctrinaire crackpots. Unless you agree with everything
on the GOP litmus test list, you end up getting crocks full of **** for
your deviance.

The issue here, immigration policy, is not what is important. What is
important is that the GOP'ers insist you toe the party line on
everything. That should give thinking Americans the willies...and remind
them of the ayatollahs who control fundamentalism Islam,
