Changed my registration today. Gregg's seat will go Dem in 2010. And Michael Steele's boneheaded comments.

Let it all burn.

Fucking quitter. What a couple of weeks in minority too much to handle? Pussy. Although, you are right about Steele, what a lightweight. But still, your reasons are 1)NH Senate seat and 2) Something that a new RNC head said? ROFL, if you remained a Republican through the W era, you can handle this, easily.

I'd think someone who defended Bush for 8 years would have a high tolerance for gross incompetence.

Can anyone link what Steele said that is so offensive? I know absolutely nothing about the man besides the praises Mexicantornado and the rest of Muzzle seem to give him.

When I wrote that that was before I read you and him going back and forth about how sucky Steele is.

I still know absolutely nothing about him besides the fact that he's black and he's a Republican. One of which is a perfectly good reason not to like him.

Which portion of Steele's comments is it that you have a problem with? I don't blame you for leaving your party, especially if you are one of the people who has been left behind by the party over the years. The question is what aspect of this direction is it that you don't like?

Joe the Plumber advises GOP-ers
By ALEX ISENSTADT 2/2/09 7:26 PM EST Text Size:


Fresh off his stint as a war correspondent in Gaza, Joe the Plumber is now doing political strategy with Republicans.

When GOP congressional aides gather Tuesday morning for a meeting of the Conservative Working Group, Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher - more commonly known as Joe the Plumber - will be their featured guest. This group is an organization of conservative Capitol Hill staffers who meet regularly to chart GOP strategy for the week.

Wurzelbacher, who became a household name during the presidential election, will be focusing his talk on the proposed stimulus package. He's apparently not a fan of the economic rescue package, according to members of the group.

If nothing else, GOP aides are using the appearance to get staffers to attend the 9 a.m meeting.

"In case you weren't planning to attend CWG tomorrow morning, you might want to reconsider because Joe the Plumber will be joining us!" Kimberly Wallner, an aide to South Carolina Sen. Jim DeMint, wrote in a message to her e-mail list this afternoon.

Last month, Wurzelbacher did a brief stint as a war reporter for the conservative web site pjtv.com.

The man who just doesn't want to give up his 15 minutes. Republicans are incredibly desperate if they are turning to the average dumbass on the street for ideas. Next there will be an 800 number where you give suggestions to the party to become viable again.

Jope has a certain common sense to him and he is well spoken. I imagine with the right training and exposure he might make a halfway descent politician.

I would vote for him over Barny Frank or Al Franken anyway.

It's so funny how cons blame Palin's handlers for the fact that she came off as a complete moron. Maybe, just maybe, she appeared stupid because she actually IS stupid?

If the Republicans went towards conservatism - real conservatism, small government, low taxes, non-interventionism in foreign policy, personal lives, and the economy, not this moralistic bullshit - they would be greatly more successful.

"not this moralistic bullshit "

but moralistic bullshit is as much a part of the movement as all the conservative economic policies.

"That dumbass bitch made smart conservatives think she was the second coming of Reagan at first. "

How smart could they be if they thought that?

Republicans didn't lose because of their values or social conservatism. We lost because we tried to become liberals. Big spending, foreign policy, etc. Nothing to do with abortion or gay marriage or any of that. Whoever says so is an uneducated idiot that is pushing the line to destroy social conservatism because they disagree with it, or listening to those who do. Poor tactic I might add.

GWB does not represent Republicanism...nor does John McCain. Regardless of whether or not I fit in or not is of no relevance to me. I'm not going to lay down or walk away because the party has been hijacked by 'moderates' and corrupt idiots.

A 100 year war over nothing, a terrible economy, a shit load of Americans without health care, jobs being lost all over the place, companies going under all over the place, bail outs being needed, a shit load of sex scandals, and most Republicans sound like total idiots who are only in politics for themselves.

Yeah, easily blown by the wind.

And work to fix it, that's exactly what the Democrats are doing...

Ron Paul is a conservative Republican. Since there are no other prominent conservative Republicans holding positions of power, RP is isolated, in order to mute his message and make him a laughingstock.

"Then that means people are more retarded than ever, to ignore anything RP has to say simply because some of his supporters are nutters."

And to do so when everything else he stands for is the polar opposite of all the insane shit that's currently going on and that everyone seems to unanimously hate, e.g. outrageous no-strings bailout of everything from banks to hollywood, to local governments packed with pork for shit like contraception, art museums, landscaping for DC, etc., dumbass jackbooted police activities like raiding friendly poker games and terrorizing state sanctioned medical marijauna facilities.....the list endless. But no, some people that want a new investigation of 9/11 also like his policies so we abandon him wholesale and consequently take a royal ass fucking from every political angle.
