Former House Republican Leader Dick Armey criticized GOP candidates for saying "stupid things," but here is one problem: The 2012 candidates were talking about Republican policy.

After Mitt Romney's 47% don't pay taxes remark, Conservative columnist Peggy Noonan dubbed the Romney campaign a "rolling calamity" for all its problems and continuing self-inflicted wounds.
