Why does this happens to republicans?

For as long as I've been politically active, I've noticed something interesting about republican presidential (and vice presidential) candidates: Many of these individuals (how to say this nicely) make themselves look like uninformed and unintelligent individuals with no political experience. Good examples are Rick Perry, George Bush, Sarah Palin, and Michele bachman. These politicians are perpetually mocked by the people of America because of their speeches/behavior/ignorance.

In honest comparison, the democratic party doesn't deal with this problem as much as their counterparts.

So, why does this happens to republicans (It is not the media, so please don't say it)? Why can't the republican party [pick better candidates?

    precisely. Why does the Republican social gathering now want water boarding? develop into it Eisenhower (a republican) who prosecuted eastern squaddies and condemned them to death, for an similar element finished to our squaddies in WWII? Why does the Republican social gathering now want spying on it is electorate? Why does the social gathering of Lincoln so hated by blacks, and so adverse to classes like affirmative action? Why is the republican social gathering now so in love with loose commerce that it subsidizes international places that relocate, and sells off our resources to overseas governments? Why did not the republican social gathering, at the same time as it develop into in place of work, decrease spending? Why did it be sure to develop into the international's policeman, and go for an fool like George Bush? George Bush couldn't string 2 sentences mutually!

    Sorry, but it is the media. They threw nothing but softballs to Obama in '08 - they throw out a different set of questions to those who they would like to see do well as opposed to those who don't share their agenda

    Joe (3 letter word, J-O-B-S) Biden has made encyclopedias worths of gaffes that have not been reported. Barack (57 States) Obama has made volumes of gaffes. We never hear about these from the media - only the ones made by Republicans. Clearly, the media does play favorites

    We are totally happy with our party reps! Only a Obama sheep ideologue wouldn't understand who is intelligent and who isn't because they are brainwashed and filled with Hate and Revenge in them.

    This rumor about Republicans / Conservatives not happy with choices is a Far left Manipulation Tactic to Demonize the opposition.

    Its all Obama has - because his policies destroyed America! So they use radical manipulation tactics AGAIN!

    It IS the lib media. Libs hate anything repub, unless that repub is a RINO. So look to the libs and the lib media who spend more time on repubs than they do on dem flubs.

    Don't get me started on how bad Biden is, BHO's 57 states and counting, Algore inventing the internet.....yep there are plenty of dems that sound even more stupid than you say the repubs do, but the lib media does not report these.

    It worked for Jimmy Carter and Bill "Aw shucks" Clinton.

    Then there was Robert "KKK Kleagle" Byrd.

    But the liberal media shills for the blatantly corrupt Democrats, while highlighting the slightest flaws in Republicans.

    Have you heard the stupid stuff Barry says without his teleprompters or just don't pay attention? Here is a classic one "I don't have all of the facts, but I believe the Cambridge police acted stupidly". His racism shows when every word is not fed to him.

    All who saw the debates in which Rick Perry could not even name what he is against...know exactly what you are talking about.

    "Is our children learning"...indeed

    Their speeches, behavior & um...ignorance is intentional. Your target audience matters & you never want to come off as arrogant, condescending or "I'm WAY smarter than you" when talking to people.

    Because they try to appeal to the Conservatives.
