Why I Want To Be Your President: The Republican Round-Up

They said such wild and wacky things this week:

Newt Gingrich thinks President Obama could be impeached over the administration’s decision to stop defending the Defense of Marriage Act. He claimed the President has directly violated his constitutional duties by arbitrarily suspending the law.

I am no lawyer, but I believe Attorney General Eric Holder said the administration would continue to enforce the law, just not defend it. And I assume Newt Gingrich, PhD is educated enough to understand the difference.

Mike Huckabee keeps telling me that gay marriage is a direct threat to my “traditional” marriage. So much so, that it leads to broken families. And since it leads to the destruction of traditional families, it’s a burden on the economy. All those women collecting welfare, you know. He believes this so strongly, that he’s written a whole book promoting the idea that traditional families lead to economic stability.

Now, that will create jobs, won’t it?

Rick Santorum thinks the protesters in Wisconsin are drug addicts. Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi must be a big fan, since he said the same thing about the people of his own country just a day later.

Mitt Romney is trying his best to defend the health care reforms he implemented in Massachusetts, while at the same time calling for the repeal of “Obamacare.” The solution? Send it all back the states. Because after all, as we can see, state governments are extremely amenable to taking that on right now.

Tim Pawlenty will be trying out his credentials at the Tea Party Patriots’ first annual policy conference this weekend. This comes just after he released a video in support of Republican Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker.  So, we'll see what he has to say.

Sarah Palin and Michele Bachmann were uncharacteristically quiet this week. But, there’s always next week!

And the week after that, and the week after that….
