GOP Insider Eviscerates Bush And Party: Just "Phenomenal Arrogance"
"There is a phenomenal arrogance like a fog that has clouded people's thinking and ability to see what is real," said Nicole Sexton, a longtime Republican fundraiser and former Director of Finance for the National Republican Senatorial Committee. "We have to go down in history as some of the worst messengers. And President Bush has been horrible. Everything he does deems calculated and insincere. The same was true with Bill Clinton but he at least had the ability to seem sincere. With Bush, people are throwing stones and tomatoes at him ."

Sexton, the author of the new book, "Party Favors" (a fictionalized look at the life of a GOP fundraiser), offered a fairly dire assessment of the party in which she used to be a major figure. A native of New Orleans, much of her scorn was saved for Bush, who she derided for his ignorance of the scope Hurricane Katrina's devastation.

"He should have been in a row boat in the middle of the 9th ward, helping families," she said before adding, when prompted, "like Sean Penn... Instead, there were all these resources put to his press conference.

2. Must come from Limbaugh
What does he say.... with talent on loan from god or some shit like that? I don't listen to the sickening fuck, but years ago tuned in to see what all the fuss was about, and all he did was pump himself up like some demi-god. Extreme pompous asshole.

3. Somehow, when Republicans became "conservatives", they lost all honor or honesty,...
,...and most definitely lost all sense of reason.

"Power" became the central motivation and the "conservative" mantra justified any means to reach the end goal of "power".

6. she so misses the boat
thinks the problem is the "messanger" - not the policies that have been so disasterous for this country. Thus she thinks McCain will end up winning ... on the same policies.
