Insane is believing elections are honest.
Fine. Then, by that knock-kneed "logic": it shouldn't matter one whit whom we nominate in 2016, or how conservative they are; and, therefore, we can run Sarah Palin, or Allen West, or anybody the conservative voting base damned well wants, with no b!tching or kvetching from the party's squishy, socially liberal "moderates" and suchlike... right?
