1. Newt Gingrich. His focus on family values and morality belies his own infidelities and dubious ethics charges, including his alleged underhanded dealings in using campaign funds, and selling books on his campaigns which raises questions of propriety and motive.
2. Herman Cain. Accusations of sexual harrassment charges from numerous women, a disastrous 9-9-9 plan, he also sat as a director for a mid-Western energy corporation and during his time on the board, he engaged in a few dealings that ultimately swindled employees out of millions of dollars. How was this done? By convincing workers to invest their retirement savings in corporate stock. Talk about pulling an "Enron."
3. Anthony Weiner. The pictures tweeted around the world to a Texas woman told him he would have to explain his actions which ultimately made him resign from office. This well-loved Democrat should have known better, but didn't.
4. Rick Perry. He claims to make mistakes from time to time but when he's on the campaign trail, or when he speaks about the three things he'd like to eliminate from government control, you can't help but laugh. Calling Social Security a Ponzi scheme, first defending the HPV vaccine mandate in Texas and then recanting, mathematical errors - "It was reprehensible for me, for this president (Obama) to stand in front of Americans and to say that that half a trillion dollars, $500 million plus, is not going to be on the table." Excuse me??
5. Michele Bachmann. Inaccuracies about American history, saying she never got one government check in her life (aside from a subsidy and raising lots of kids), her views on climate change, healthcare, same-sex marriage, confusing John Wayne with serial killer John Wayne Gacy, her false fear of the Soviet Union rising, blaming Franklin Delano Roosevelt for the "Hoot-Smalley" tariffs (it was the Smoot-Hawley Bill). To add insult to injury, that bill was proposed by Senator Reed Smoot of Utah and Rep. Willis Hawley of Oregon, both of whom were Republicans. It was then signed into law by Herbert Hoover. A Republican.
