The Alternative Universe of the GOP Candidates

This article describes the strange world in which facts do not interfere with false claims, and logic has been repealed. It is the world imagined by GOP candidates, who have to distort reality, and repeal logic, in order to enter the universe inhabited by their base which wants to return to its imagined nirvana of the 18th century. This could be the basis for a new situation comedy if it were not so serious. It would be about a magic tea that would remove the impediments of rational thought that prevents ordinary mortals from enjoying the free exercise of hallucinogenic thinking. There is no other way of describing what we observe during the GOP debates. Read this article and watch the GOP debate this evening on CNN. It is being advertised as a Tea Party Debate. You can keep score and rank each candidate on how well each reflects the alternative universe.
