Its hard to tell how much of it is just running off at the mouth without the proper handlers (and/or teleprompters) in place and how much of it is intolerance for intolerance.
No, he specifically went on the record saying he would not appoint any Muslim judges or have them in any cabinet position because he didn't want them to change our laws/policies to abide by Sharia Law.

Good gravy - she couldn't even get the GIST of the midnight ride of Paul Revere correct WHEN VISITING HIS HOME AS PART OF HER damned TOUR!

Paul Revere did not warn the British (by shooting a gun and ringing bells) that they couldn't take away our arms.

Paul Revere did warn locals that the British were coming, and signaled the route via the number of lanterns in a bell tower. No shooting. No bells being rung.

Apparently Longfellow's rhyme wasn't catchy enough to drown out "drill, baby, drill".

"Listen, my children, and you shall hear
Of the midnight ride of Paul Revere,
On the eighteenth of April, in Seventy-five;
Hardly a man is now alive
Who remembers that famous day and year.

He said to his friend, "If the British march
By land or sea from the town to-night,
Hang a lantern aloft in the belfry arch
Of the North Church tower as a signal light,
One, if by land, and two, if by sea;
And I on the opposite shore will be,
Ready to ride and spread the alarm
Through every Middlesex village and farm,
For the country folk to be up and to arm."

I hope her kid was able to hear the tour guide, that household needs someone with a middleschool level knowledge of American History. I weep that she served half a term as governor of our largest state.

Looks like we're getting closer to adding Rick Perry to the list.

"... two of his top political advisers are available, having been part of Thursday’s mass exodus from the troubled campaign of former House Speaker Newt Gingrich. In fact, Dave Carney and Rob Johnson are reportedly heading for the Texas capital.

There are also reports that Governor Perry has been talking to his high-dollar donors. ... '

And the circus adds another clown...

Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) announced during Monday evening's presidential debate that she'd filed paperwork to run for president.

"I filed today my paperwork to run for president of the United States … I wanted you to be the first to know," she said.

Right here!
And the circus adds another clown...

Actually, if you watched the debate last night, she and most of the other candidates did really well. The first half of the debate which concentrated on jobs and the economy was the high point. (Social issues and wars dominated the second half.) I was not expecting Bachmann to do well, I figured she was another Palin, but she didn't come across that way at all. I think anyone who watched the debate walked away impressed - we have an impressive list of smart, policy oriented candidates to choose from.

Obama better get his campaighn fired up, because these candidates are all strong and they're going to spend the next nine months running around hammering the president on his record. This race isn't going to be a repeat of 2008.

I need to rephrase as I didn't mean to call the GOP clowns, it was more of a statement that the process is like a circus with all the people jumping out of the VW bug.
