RAYNARD JACKSON OP-ED: The GOP is Playing With Fire!

Republicans continue to play a dangerous game of politics that may give them short term victory, but will ultimately destroy their brand and viability. They are allowing fellow Republicans to enter territory that would have been unthinkable just a few years ago.
Republicans would argue that they can’t “control” what others say and that people have the right to “freedom of speech.” All this is true, but there is such a thing as enabling a person to engage in destructive behavior. You don’t have to strike the match that causes a fire to be culpable. Spreading gas in a building and walking away while someone else lights the match is enough for both parties to be guilty!
Republicans have indoctrinated Sarah Palin into actually thinking that she has a future as an elected official. She is an empty vessel that they fill with words that she has absolutely no understanding of. She is a pretty face, who uses folksy language and one who excites and rallies a fringe element of the party. No political strategist (Republican or Democrat) takes Palin seriously.
