Where do these people come from?

Today is a typical day in this election season.

First we have a hurricane expert: “The National Hurricane Center is Obama.  The National Weather Service is part of the Commerce Department. It is Obama.  You know what it is in the media, it’s all about the hurricane hitting next week and they’re not talking about Biden.  They are talking about this Hurricane Isaac thing. We, who live in south Florida, become experts on it and we don’t need the National Hurricane Center — we don’t need all these weather dolts analyzing this for us.” The hurricane expert is Rush Limbaugh.

Tom Head, a judge in Texas: “He’s (Obama) going to try to hand over the sovereignty of the United States to the U.N., and what is going to happen when that happens?  I’m thinking the worst.  Civil unrest, civil disobedience, civil war maybe. And we’re not just talking a few riots here and demonstrations, we’re talking Lexington, Concord, take up arms and get rid of the guy. Now what’s going to happen if we do that? If the public decides to do that? He’s going to send in U.N. troops.”

Frank Szabo, a candidate for sheriff in New Hampshire:  said Wednesday that he would be willing to use deadly force to prevent a woman from terminating her pregnancy.  “I would respond specifically by saying that if someone is under threat, a full-grown human being, if they’re under threat, what should the sheriff do? Everything in their power to prevent them from being harmed.  Why is there a difference between someone who is 20 years old and their life is in danger and someone who is nine months in utero?” 

Why don't we emulate sane countries and cut the electioneering period back from being perpetual?  It would at least cut down on the number of inanities we have to listen to.
