On the economic side, the first two years Obama was busy saving the Wall St/financial/auto mfg sectors(millions of jobs) and the last two years trying to save middle/lower class jobs. It was a shame there was no Republican gratitude
returned. Rove and Norquist deserve the Republican cold shoulder they are now receiving.

Although the Repubs don't demonize the poor Graham is correct.
Kristol was correct although taxing the rich is not a panacea for anything it is just a political statement the left is trying to make. It is their line in the sand whereas the Republicans don't have a line. They need to stand up to the Demonrats.
The problem is, among other things, as long as one party makes personal responsibility and freedom a platform they will not outlast the party of government dependency and control. Demonrats told a plethora of lies in the last election and were propped up by the media, the most egregious example of this was that water carrier and propagandist, Candy Crawley. Republicans did not counter with the truth. The electorate, as we have seen were mostly made up of voters bought and paid for by a corrupt, lying administration and nanny state philosophy, redefined ignorance by putting Dear Leader in for another term. We now have the government we deserve. If we had a thinking electorate, Hussein would be packing and clearing.

Putting lipstick and make-up on their pig does nothing. It's the pig stupid!!!!!!

However , the rest are still believers.

Tax reform, voter reform and political neutrality in the courts are noble goals for all Republican Americans, but not in the manner that we saw in the 2000's.
To the revulsion of many, it was plain ugly and anti-American. Now, we will all pay for it in the "pass the costs down" raise in property taxes, broken government and lost public esteem.

You can't fix stupid.

Well, at least some of these losers are thinking properly about why they lost the election.

Any re-branding won't fool me though. I know what their real agenda is. They can't just start supporting gay marriage or something and expect my vote.

They're fucked! They let their hand drop too low and now people know who they really are. A bunch of scummy, corrupt fucks.

It's pretty obvious when even the most radical right wingers have to admit they have to stop hating. Loved what Megan McCain said about Turd Blossom.

Post tenebras lux (after the darkness, the light)

Good to see some of them have soem sense, If their Party is outing the push hater, the liars out of it, we could get back to an intelligent and constructive debat, having both party able to find a common ground to put USA back on track!

Very much featured in WOIT.

It is nice to hear that some people get it. Unfortunately there is no reason to believe them until we see them doing something about it. Telling us that they are wrong in their thinking does nothing but make some people feel good.

I want to see actions from them. If they want more people to join them then they need to stop doing the things that harm people. Helping people have better lives is not big government, it is what government is supposed to do and it can be done in ways that do not bankrupt a nation or overtax individuals.

When Republican politicians talk about cutting government they end up cutting the things we need. They cut money for education, police and fire protection, roads and infrastructure, aid for the poor and unhealthy and of course Social Security. They always find plenty of money to dole out to their wealthy donors as they finance military spending that even the Pentagon does not always want, they subsidize oil exploration but want to cut alternative energy development, and the list goes on and on.

Stop telling us to pull ourselves up by our own bootstraps when you take our boots away from us.

I couldn't believe Jindal really said that, so I had to check for myself:

“It is no secret we had a number of Republicans damage our brand this year with offensive, bizarre comments — enough of that,” Jindal said. “It’s not going to be the last time anyone says something stupid within our party, but it can’t be tolerated within our party. We’ve also had enough of this dumbed-down conservatism. We need to stop being simplistic, we need to trust the intelligence of the American people and we need to stop insulting the intelligence of the voters.”

I don't think the GOP can stop it at this point, but Jindal's point is long overdue. lol

They are saying all the right things, but if you listen really carefully they still don't get that their policies suck. Wrapping it up in 'pretty words' is not going to change that. They need a real 'Come to Jesus' intervention. Trying to starve the federal government by hurting the old, the poor, and the handicapped is not a solution. They claim they want less government in their lives, then try to tell everyone how they should live their lives, who they should love, and control women's reproduction rights. So they really don't want less government, just their kind of government.

Quite embarrassing!
We can hate Karl Rove. But can we love Obama?

How very refreshing ! I am sure it won't last .....
