ALL the candidates I've seen have seriously way-out views.
The media's job is done here.

Don't mean to be rude, but this is what they do. Their entire job is to determine and sit upon the worst possible horror you (that's you plural) can be emotionally worked up by.

To their defense, the media didn't have to work real hard to do it.

Maybe.
I don't read American papers, although I read articles here and follow headlines and quotes from site to site. And there are youtube clips and historical compilations regarding votes cast and points argued.

I would be far more careful if I was voting myself, of course.
But quote after quote, from their own mouths, suggest that these men are as crazy as I think they are (IMHO) and not just being painted that way by biased media. Again, bear in mind you have no left-wing press on the scale that we use to identify it, and I am definitely left wing.

Oh and as a European atheist, YMMV on my definition of crazy.

Are you saying that Sundae is wrong?
