Some Stupid Party people say . . .

Blithe Spirit 1 Minute

. . . the ideal candidate would trim his sails to the prevailing last election:

These people would have us believe that we must make fundamental changes to draw in new voters. We must exile social conservatives to bring in young people and single women. We must exile fiscal conservatives to bring in hispanic and black voters. With whatever is left from having exiled both, these geniuses would have us believe the Democrats in whose camp these groups already find themselves will just sit back and let it happen.

But the RedsTate man does not think so:

The Republican Party will never out Democrat the Democrats. Conservatives will never out liberal Liberals. We should not try.

Me-Too Republicanism? Not he, nor me.

  1. We need to find a Tony Snow type to replace Mr Prebus. I believe that RP is a smart guy but has a winey presentation that fails to project strength and resolve. Going up against a political hatchet man like Axelrod requires a solid backbone and absolute believability. We could wipe the floor with the Democrats if our leader tells it like it is, listens and everyone knows that our survival is at stake. The Washington insider is perceived to lie and cheat with impunity.

  3. Call Boehner 202-225-0600 and Cantor 202-225-2815 and let them know we are counting on them to continue being the “Party of No” to save the country.
