Republican flesh-eaters........

Our daily real time reality show is producing scripts that could not be written. It was madness on the part of the GOP and the Republican National Committee to allow monthly debates among contenders for the presidency. The candidates are eating one another's flesh.

It will get worse I am sure, but as a prelude to the next episode, the leftish opinion rag, Politico, announced a sex harassment scandal involving the Republican's favorite African-American, Herman Cain. Hermie quickly replied that he was framed as the harassment never took place even though the two female aids in question were compensated to leave their jobs and keep mum.

Not content with Politico's refusal to expose its sources, Cain charged a Rick Perry aid with the leak. It was an aid who had previously assisted Hermie in his political career. Rick rebounded by accusing the Romney camp of creating the leak. The big question for the next debate is as dramatic as who killed JR. Namely, who will be standing next to whom. If the choreography is not right, candidates are at risk of engaging in fisticuffs. Alternatively, they could be separated by cyclone fences. We shall see.

Again, Obama is winning the debate for the Republican presidential candidate while the Republicans are viciously split between moderate and ultra-right and no single candidate can command the allegiance of a majority. Oddly, Newt Gingrich may be their only hope; mind you out of a rather pathetic field. Romney continues to lull everyone to sleep and remains indelibly branded with Mormanism, as if it were a plague rather than a religion.

Cain is out as well he should have been from the beginning, and not because of his alleged sexual harassment, (another of his alleged victims has surfaced) but because he is unfit to lead the free world. Rick Perry cannot extract his foot from his mouth. Enter Newt who may well carry the GOP flag and if so may also assure Obama of a second term.

Thinking and open minded Americans are looking for a president they can trust. In spite of a golden opportunity to do so, the GOP has not been able to surface a candidate that meets that single criteria.
