A. Pretend like they "voted" for Obama, Just so that they can complain about how much he let them down.
- The only people that believe you actually "voted" for Obama are the other Republicans at the "Tea Party" that claim they voted for Obama too.

B. Pretend like the Mccain/Palin Ticket never existed.
- This ticket was nothing more than an insult to the intelligence of women accross America.

C. Steal Ron Paul's ideas. I thought you guys said he was crazy?

D. Elect Michael Steele as RNC Chairman.
- I wonder why they did that? No way, it couldn't be that obvious. Did Micheal Steele, newly elected chairman of the RNC just say "Bling Bling". Okay, now I get it, it is that blatanly obvious.

E. Refer to any thing other than FOX as the "Mainstream Media".
- The Brainwashing is sooo good that FOX has convinced you that they are not "Mainstream Media" , not even Media, but Gospel from God himself.

Republicans, these are people that you all elected. You guys need to pay a little bit more attention to your candidates during your primaries. Elect people that possess qualities that you like. I find it extremely sad, that out of all the elected Republicans , you guys can't find 1 that appeals to even yourself.

Share the wealth there karfar. Limberger told me I OUGHT to vote for palin because women naturally only vote for women. Interesting response from david duke when michael steele was named. I believe he used the word traitor 3 times & cursed the whole party to eternal damnation. Alan Keyes let the republican party know who was boss when he voted with his feet last spring, but then I came across this odd term describing his behavior in primaries... stalking horse. Maybe they'll toe the line enough to woo him back?

What's strange is steele is polite and when he's challenged and recognizes he's wrong he apologizes. That's a foriegn concept to republicans? Maybe he's not the problem and they are?

I found this part incredibly insulting knowing how badly they treated him on fox, the wannabe GOP headquarters. They never cut him an even break and just recently got around to giving him air time over the economy.

No doubt. An ex-friend was astounded when women wouldn't vote for McCain because, why wouldn't women vote for a woman? Huh??? I'm a democrat first & foremost, why in the world would I vote for McCain just because he chose a woman as his running mate?

Excellent point & makes one wonder how long guys like Steele will remain Republican. When every sane voice is forced out by the yahoos then what is left to the GOP won't be worth even bothering with. In California Republicans are totally ignored unless they are like Steele or Schwarzenegger; what's pathetic is that the Republicans quickly reject their own leaders. They are dying faster than anyone could have predicted 8 years ago. It is remarkable how one man could bring down an entire party & nation = Bush

Remember the Republican convention and how Republicans didn't even want Bush there. They attempted to distance themselves from the leader of their party. Mccain even made attempts at comparing Obama to Bush. Thats sad.

Remember Joe the "Plumber". Turns out he was an unlicensed plumber that owed back taxes.
Sad. Complaining about taxes that he doesn't even pay.

Remember the crazy old lady that said that "Obama's an Arab". Mccain had to correct her, I think this is when it dawned on him that the paranoia that the GOP is pushing around is really being taken to heart by innocent "gullable" American citizens, and it is a very dangerous game that they are playing.
Whats sad about this, is that FOX news and the GOP continue to play this dangerous game with Americans. Saying that Obama has "ties" to terrorist, saying that Obama's gonna take away everyones guns, saying that Obama is going to turn America into a "Socialist" Nation, and now even saying that Obama is making America unsafe. Every week its a new attack on the intelligence of Americans, sure there are those that will believe this ridiculous stuff, but not enough to win an election.

The Republican party needs to re discover what makes them Republicans, understand what it is that they stand for, stop attempting to discredit the President every week. Stop making attempts to play on peoples emotions (using Religion, Race, and Gender), and just stand for what they stand for. Until they do that, Dem's will continue to overrtake them.

My question is what does the GOP stand for? If it is nothing more than religious nonsense than they truly will die. Some political historians are of the mind to predict a continue decline to the point that influence will drop well below anything the GOP has experienced in 70 yrs. In exile, wandering in confusion & self-pity. Glad I'm not a Republican!
