That RNC Chairperson debate yesterday?

Did you see where 5 candidates for the Republican National Committee Chairperson job--including current office holder Michael Steele--debated yesterday?


It was not a reason for any optimism with these people.


From the St. Louis Beacon today:  


At least a third of the questions focused on guns, gays and abortion -- which prompted all the contenders, including Wagner, to emphasize their commitment to traditional marriage and the Second Amendment, plus their opposition to legal abortion.


Did you get that?


Guns, gays and abortion were there big topics.


It's not "God, guts and guns", but it's darn close. 


Stupidity run rampant.


Forget that the abortion issue has 30 years of legal precedent in the country.


Forget that, as a nation, we have shown that we are pretty much over the issue of gays and that we're much more inclusive and tolerant.


Forget that no one is trying to get anyone else's gun by legislation or any other route.


Forget all that.


All that matters is that these are the 3 big, electrically-charged issues that this group of Republicans thinks will charge their voting electorate to get out and vote.


That is some kind of sick.


And for the final, repulsive note, check out that fellow Missourian Ann Wagner is thought to have scored big points in the debate because she nearly literally "out-gunned" the other debaters because, she said, she had 16 guns at her house, between herself, her husband and son.


I feel nauseous.
