How stupid

Just wondering how stupid Republicans think people are (very obviously). By selecting an African-American as their leader as nothing more then a ploy to try to counter PRESIDENT OBAMA they show they are nothing but desperate and will stoop to any level to try to regain their shrinking power. They think the American people are stupid and will fall for it (and of course some will). Why don't they just elect who is really in charge of the party (drug addict Rush Limbaugh) and just save the puppet for later.
