Indecision Roils RNC Race
Nearly two months after Republicans were dealt their second straight beatdown at the ballot box, the race to become the next public face of the Grand Old Party has grown increasingly fractious and unpredictable -- stoking fears among insiders that the first major movement of 2009 will be a misstep.

Take this week for example. On Monday Americans for Tax Reform -- Grover Norquist's group -- held a debate between the six candidates that left even advocates of the candidates rolling their eyes as each man sought to one up their rivals as to who owned more guns and who loved former President Ronald Reagan more.

On Tuesday a conservative steering committee -- led by anti-abortion advocate Jim Bopp Jr. -- convened a teleconference aimed at reasserting the need for the next RNC Chair to adhere to the party's conservative principles. And, today the RNC will hold a "special meeting" in Washington in which each of the candidates will have the opportunity to make his case.

The overall message? Chaos.

Dems are having some problems sorting themselves out, but the Rethugs look like
they are herding cats.

Heh. Snort. :rofl:

[gratuitous]

3. I own 82 guns and regularly pleasure myself watching Bedtime for Bonzo

Which qualifies me to lead the Republican party!

It is rather humorous to watch the GOP crack up (in all senses of the phrase). And if they don't have any better idea than guns and Ronnie about how to appeal to the American electorate, they will go the way of the Whig party. It is, unfortunately, out of this kind of fractiousness that authoritarian types move into leadership roles. And that sort of Daddy figure appeals to a significant segment of our population.

Now would be a very good time for Democrats to spend public money modernizing schools, upgrading classrooms, paying teachers more, and expanding curricula all over the country, to help young minds develop and encourage critical thinking skills.

2. The Republicans

Spent 20 years recruiting 'yes men' that know all the best buzz words to excite the sleeping base.

And they never got the memo that hot air balloons
have a fundamental flaw. :rofl:

[monmouth]

4. Jim Bopp Jr.??? Sorry, couldn't get past that...LOL....n/t

5. You should have seen the Feats of Courage when Reagan's corpse was exhumed

and whichever of the candidates could fuck him first would be the winner.

6. Well, that's just terrible. If this keeps up, they may just collapse.

Pleaseohpleaseohpleaseohplease!

7. Oh I wish we could watch it fall apart.

:applause:

That's entertainment!
