You didn't even read the article, yet you have the chutzpah to react to it. Sweet.
Try to stay focused, I did NOT react to the news story, I reacted to the fact that YOU had the nerve to call me, what was it again...
Ohh yeah, thats right.. a "hicks, rednecks, racists, and other uneducated riff raff".
I also reacted, kinda laughing, that someone would point out a comment by a conservative from the NYTimes, who also has been criticized for putting stories out on Fox..
Again, I did not comment at ALL on the story.. I'm to uneducated to read it, per YOU..
I think the republicans will have to do a major re-group after this campaign (like the dems had to do). The conservative religious people are tearing it to shreds. Maybe they should start their own 3rd party--like the green ones.
I've been saying this through three Presidential election cycles now. The Republican party leadership has turned a blind eye to conservative intellectualism and instead chosen to serve up a divisive rhetoric of fear of the unknown and Christian fundamentalist views that resonates well with many Americans. This has not only alienated well-educated independants but also fiscal conservatives who happen to be socially progressive and recognize this hysterical pandering for what it is. Essentially, anyone with enough common sense to see the sheer hypocrisy in Rudy Guiliani and Mitt Romney calling someone else "elite" is turned off.
As unfortunate as 9/11 was, it has allowed morally corrupt neo-cons to essentially puppeteer the American masses for years now. So far this millenium we've witnessed the GOP powers that be erode civil liberties, treat the Constitution as if it doesn't even apply to them, allow torture to take place on American soil, distract Americans from key issues by espouse blatant fear-based anti-gay policies, swell corporate greed to unconscionable levels by hand-feeding friends, sink billions upon billions of dollars and lose countless lives for a misguided war while the global economy tanks...*sigh* I can be here all day.
If you were a preacher my screams would be echoing through the rafters. You go!!
With malice toward none; with charity for all; with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in; to bind up the nation's wounds; to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow, and his orphan – to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace, among ourselves, and with all nations.
GOP, 2008:
I know that John McCain will do that and I, as his vice president, families we are blessed with that vote of the American people and are elected to serve and are sworn in on January 20, that will be our top priority is to defend the American people.

Maybe if Sarah becomes VP, she can get enough money to go back to school to learn GRAMMAR!!
They dumped William F Buckley long ago, George Will is a nobody, David Brooks and Pat Buchanan barely have a following.
They're into Limbaugh, Hannity, Malkin (called for American Muslims to be put in camps like the Japanese in WWII), Michael Savage, and some whiney voiced little racist known as "The Great One" and Jonah Goldberg.
The GOP rejects intellect. They are all about red meat.
I assume that one of the points that the OP was trying to make was that this article, critical of the GOP, was written by someone with a history of supporting the GOP.
