This weekend the more moderates of the Republican party have identified the problem with the party. And, the problem is with the leaders (either real or de-facto) of the Republican party. The current appointed leader, Michael Steele is just a mouthpiece. Do I dare say they selected an African American just to say, "see, we can do it too" to the Democrats? Clearly he was not appointed to be the leader of the party.
Now, mind you, it is OK by me if they choose to have Limbaugh as their leader. Hell, they chose "Joe the Plumber" (you remember,
the guy who said, "Back in the day, really, when people would talk about our military in a poor way, somebody would shoot ‘em. And there’d be nothing said about that,” - and the Republican's made him a leader) as their spokesperson on the campaign trail so at least Limbaugh is a step up. This is just great. It does not seem like a fair fight but it is the Republican nuts who have chosen this, not the left.
This is why I left the Republican party many years ago and probably will not return. It is not a party of ideas. It is a party of ideologues. It is a party of people who would rather see the destruction of the United States than a competing idea win out in the marketplace of ideas. It is also the party of hypocrisy. The leaders of the "family values" party are all divorced, have been on drugs, and have gambling problems (Bill Bennett - Remember,
The book of Virtues). Further, the leaders of the Republican "war" party are all people who were COWARDS when they were called to go to war. Ask Hannity, Coulter, Limbaugh and Cheney what they did when they were called to serve. It is one thing to be anti-war and not serve but a very different thing to be the lead drummer in sending others off to die while you refuse and cower like a baby in the fetal position when you are asked to serve.
This is the Republican party of today. A bunch of entertainers, cowards, radicals, and nuts. This is the party which is trying to win back America. I say, keep on keepin on 'Pubs. You will ensure a massive (beyond super) majority next go around and you will be relegated to a late night joke.
