cnn...trying to figure out who will lead the GOP into battle...flummoxed

[opihimoimoi]

2010 does pose a problem for the GOP

Who among them will emerge to be the de facto leader?

Right now...its a ZERO for their HERO...NADA

[valerief]

1. A rethuglican terror attack will break out. Some rethuglican will play

Superman and save the day according to the rethuglican plan. The rethuglican media will tout him/her as the new, "real" savior of America and the rest is playbook. Stolen election, etc., etc.

(edited to correct typo)

6. They really don't get it...trying on various shades of red...not working

purple is tempting

[JI7]

2. Tara Wall is a female Sean Hannity

[Cassandra]

3. I don't recall this much attention to the future of the...

Democratic party after Kerry "lost". Such kind solicitude.

[valerief]

8. You're right, but the media isn't Democratic. It's Rethuglican Fascist. nt

[DesertFlower]

4. good question. nt

[KansDem]

5. Why is CorpMedia so fixated on this question?

I don't recall CorpMedia concerned with whom was going to lead the Dems "into battle" after 1994 (The "GOP Stampede") or 2000 (It was "Bush's mandate" 24/7).

F**k CorpMedia and its adherence to GOP propaganda!

25. They have to keep the chatter level up...nothing else on cept Looking for CayLee

its been 5 months and they still yakking about the kid....poor thing is dead and gone already....

[MercutioATC]

7. It's early. They have plenty of time to groom a candidate.

Who had ever heard of Bill Clinton four years before he was elected?

[gravity]

9. The GOP's problem is that they ran out of ideas

They need more than another Ronald Reagan to resurrect the party.

When Reagan came into power, he had fresh ideas on how to govern the country which propelled the GOP in power for 28 years, until George W Bush showed the failure of those policies. Now the republican party has nothing to run on, and no single personality can save it.

10. A Case of Terminal Hopelessness?...Bush Has Killed the GOP

In a way...Bushies years showed us the complete failure of their agenda

[Tom Rinaldo]

11. They killed themselves by being slavishly loyal to him

That is why their problem runs so deep now. There was no real room in the Republican Party for a Chuck Hegel. Even Arlon Spector had to constantly watch his back and worry about straying off the reservation.

[opihimoimoi]

19. Yup...extremeism gone to their heads

Now look at their predicament...all suited up and no one to dance with.....no one who comes to listen even...

[Dinger]

12. Well If The pukes Need A Leader, They can Always Look Left

Dontcha think?

[Starry Messenger]

13. They kept counting on the rapture to come.

Figured they'd time out the game with all the old crew and then the world would end. They failed to develop any young names and faces. That's why they are grasping on to shiny objects like Palin.

[LiberalFighter]

17. Tell them the rapture will happen November 1, 2010

They don't have to worry about the election.

[Starry Messenger]

20. That would be a great scam wouldn't it?

I wonder how long they would keep falling for it.

[sorrybushisfromtexas]

14. Leader for GOP

As long as the GOP remains a "white" person's group it doesn't matter who their leader is. The republican convention looked like a party for former KKK members without robes. Our convention looked like our country looks, a mosaic of what America is. They do not have diversity (which they consider a curse word). I hope they never get it. Good riddance to a corrupt, racist, hate filled party.

[opihimoimoi]

15. Exactly...well said....GOP is Death Warmed over....Truth and Reason has emerged from hiding

Sanity too...

[LiberalFighter]

16. Boehner!!!!

:bounce: :hurts:

[opihimoimoi]

21. Too "Liberal" for their tastes...they want a Palin but not so folksy and not so stupid...

[Danger Mouse]

18. I agree with the above poster. They need to look left.

[opihimoimoi]

22. Red turning Blue is Purple.....they gonna try....but will it work?

The Peeps out there want the real deal...not some fake Dems...they want good gov't....

[Danger Mouse]

23. Not 'fake dems' but moving away from the far right.

[opihimoimoi]

24. Anything but them Bushie Dudes

LOL
