Comment: Why is it that the only ones who still talk about Palin are democrats? I believe it is an infatuation. After all , most liberal chicks are butt ugly.


Have you seen ol' horse-faced neocon Ann Coulter???? Now SHE'S butt ugly - on the outside as well as the inside!!!!

to bass pro- Please keep preaching the stupidity. Left Wing nazis like yourself will help push people back to the middle where they belong

And you should learn from your own words. Why are you allowed to talk down to people. Misguided morality is voting for an empty suit in Black Democrat costume. The man may very well turn out to be a good president, but with the blind faith and ignorance that got him elected why should he even try. For once I would just like to see the elitist (like you most likely are) hold yourselves to the same standards you set for everyone else

Hay Dems!!! You guys won!!! I am starting to believe you guys just like being pissed. The world will be good in just a few more weeks. You should be as happy as pigs in slop!(even without lipstick)

This article shows that the party is not able to figure out (or publicly state) what went wrong. On Fox 'News' and others all I have heard is focus on 'what the party will do to reach out to the right wing', and to the right wing religionists.

Party leaders are either overwhelmed with the noisy right wing demands, or they are afraid of them. A major problem is considering extremists as 'the base'. Moderates used to be the base. Moderates do not want to be a minority adjunct to militant radicals who hate.

Another main reason moderates crossed party lines was the extensive lies, smears, misrepresentations, distortions and fear- and hate-mongering, including in the ubiquitous anonymous emails. What was basically the one 'black baby' smear that McCain attributed to the Bush 2000 campaign, grew to a scope and volume never seen before.

It commenced and grew after McCain hired the Bush operatives. It manifested itself into the open campaign (including the encouragement by Palin of hate cries at rallies), and continued into that tv blitz over the last days of the campaign. It was rejected this election. The lesson must be learned. It has corrupted the system we honor.

Those smears and falsehoods worked on the LIVs and the unthinking 'base' as shown by the repetition of them even now in these blogs, despite that they were refuted and debunked in reliable news and debunk websites. This also did, and continues to embarrass, dismay and repel thinking and informed moderates and conservatives alike who abhor lies, hate mongering and name calling of all others, which still are constantly hurled even at us moderates.

Jindal said that while it's tempting for Republicans to come up with excuses or to blame the media, he believes Americans fired the party with cause.

Jindal said: "Our bumper sticker message can't be vote Republican because the other side is worse. American voters are right to say: 'We demand competence, we demand solutions'."

"The Republican Party is no longer the party of fiscal discipline." That is true. McC himself could not identify a single difference from Bush on fiscal or tax policy. Worse, he wanted to continue the tax give away to the rich he called "irresponsible" and voted against. And he proposed more tax give aways to oil.

But Jindal left out the most important factor for the moderates I know. We do not want to be in a party whose 'base' is radical extremists and religiofascists who embrace and engage in lies hate- and fear-mongering.

The party must choose whether it wants to limit itself to them. The result will be a small party that continues to lose elections by increasing margins. Or it can restore the centrist/moderates to be the base, cease the corrupt propaganda, and let the extremists vote the party because they consider it the closer party to their ideology.

A 40 year republican who crossed party lines for the first time to vote Obama

brydges "In 1929 F.D.R when on T.V. to calm American's fears about hte financial market" Joe Biden - For the uneducated There was no television and F.D.R. was not president. Why was this kept out of the media?"

If it was kept out of the media, then how did you know about it? Biden says some dumb things sometimes, but he doesn't do it ALL the time like Sarah Palin.

to Janeinthisworld - How sad to be so narrow minded and unable to admit when your wrong

"Why is it that the only ones who still talk about Palin are democrats? I believe it is an infatuation. After all , most liberal chicks are butt ugly."

Have you seen horse-faced Ann Coulter????? Talk about butt ugly...inside AND out!

Get back to fiscal responsibility. Given that Congress passes both apropriations and expenditures, one may note that the democratic congress created more deficit spending in 2007-2008 that all the first six years of Bush's terms. They created more deficit spending in October - $237B - that Bush did in all of 2006.

what's to rebuild? The GOP party of hate has achieved the ultimate goal for which it has aspired for the last 20 years. Virtually everyone who can think for themselves has rejected them. 2012 will be the icing on the cake for those stupid enough to be led by some of the most dispicable scum the world has had the misfortune to produce. Hannity, Limbaugh, Morris, Matelin, Barnes, Hume, Robertson, Hagee, dobson and the several dozen other misfits who have pulled the strings of the puppets of the Republican bases will do it once again. This time it will mean the GOP will disappear into the shadows and assume third party status, which is an overachievement for them.

When they cuddle up in their Sleep Number bed and listen to their Bose radio, they can be satisfied that they did all they could to spread hate and corruption. This time and every time from now on, the GOP party of hate will be met with force. President Obama has shown them for what they are and easily parried their lies and distortion and "carpet bombed" them with the one weapon they neither understand or can defend themselves from, the truth !

What's left of the party after 2012 can build a compound is Louisana and merge with the KKK, assuming the KKK will have them.

I'm not sure why Republicans keep embracing anti-intellectuals. For God's sake, we've spent the last 8 years trying to forget that not so smart people put a not so smart guy they wanted to have a beer with at the helm of the greatest country in the world. My, how far we have fallen these past 8 years. God help us all if Sarah Palin continues to dominate the news cycle. She seems to be a nice gal, a gal I'd like to have a beer with, but never, in my wildest nightmares, would I want her to be responsible for anything more than taking my dog out for a walk. And let's face it, being Governor of Alaska is something a chimp could do. Alaska's budget is balanced as long as oil does not fall below $70/bbl. A governor in Alaska can always tax the oil companies (which she did, by the way, Republicans) and then send out bribe checks to its citizens. The problem Palin faces now is that oil is below $70/bbl. and she may be looking at a shortfall and not being able to pass out checks to the voters there. Let's see how popular she is if that happens.

to Doc Howl- Truth hurts, but many people who voted for Obama only knew two things about him, Black and Democrat.
