I'd argue that Reagan was the one who brought in the kind of crazies that even Goldwater would have rejected. Palin is a scavenger on Reagan's achievement.

Truly. When I see video after video of the candidates just like this one, my liberal brain says, "pheww, theres no way somebody could support a guy that dumb." But what I'm quickly coming to realize in my jaded old age, is that it doesn't matter what dumb shit they say. American politics with the two party system is a sports event, it's a gladiator show. It doesn't matter how awful your respective team is doing, you're still going to root for them in the end. And to be honest, I'm just as guilty in playing along, whether it's Bernie, Hillary, or Joe, I'm going to vote to the left, because at least it'll keep one of those considerably worse morons on the right out of office.
