Future of GOP and Moderate Republicans Uncertain
Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't the Menshevik Republicans sell their souls to the Bolshevik Republicans during the Republican Revolution?

Is anyone suprised that the 'true believers' are eating their own?

All hail Rove!




ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) -- In a Republican Party struggling to find its identity, the surprise withdrawal of the chosen GOP candidate for a New York congressional race -- forced by a rising conservative upstart -- renews a lingering national debate: Are moderates welcome in today's Grand Old Party?

The question became even more relevant Sunday when the ex-candidate, state Assemblywoman Dierdre Scozzafava, threw her support behind the Democrat in the race rather than the Conservative Party candidate favored by fellow Republicans.

The GOP leadership insisted on Sunday political TV talk shows the party is strong and inclusive while Democrats described a Republican party out of touch with the people.

During the campaign she failed to connect with voters, party officials or, perhaps most important, campaign donors, largely because of her support for abortion rights, same-sex marriage and union rights. That opened the door for Hoffman, who took every opportunity to remind people that Scozzafava was not the kind of Republican they wanted representing their interests in a Democratic-led Congress.

2. Don't worry ... the "liberal media" will make it look like all is forgiven and
the media will unite in an attack on Dems, because Obama expressed concerns about Faux being the propaganda channel for Repugs/Conservatives ...

Of course, every Repug screams about the "liberal media", and nobody bats an eye ...
