11. Typical primary-season groveling for the far-right vote.

That's my guess. Fiorina is doing the same thing with Planned Parenthood. Even after it was PROVEN that a video of an "abortion" was actually a full-term baby, she not only refused to admit any wrong but doubled down. Kept insisting the video was PP torturing a fetus. And still is, AFAIK.

And that's from a woman who ran one of the world's top high-tech companies. Well, it was until she ran H-P into the grouod, anyway.

The GOP candidates have to do this every election cycle. It's part of the Lee Atwater/Karl Rove proven success strategy: run hard right for the primaries, then go more moderate for the general election.

The ONLY thing I like about the Tea Party nuts is - they have sorta dicked up that strategy. When the primaries are over now, they expect the candidate to keep being a troglodyte. And they'll scream bloody murder if he or she doesn't agree to all their goofy ideas. Unfortunately, some of them got elected to Congress...
