Hey, Christine.

Your leadership in the EPA is partly responsible for the mess the Big 3 automakers are in at the moment.

You ought to shut up and go back to your wealthy, private existence. Idiot.

If the social conservatives are what's destroying the Republican Party, will Christine Whitman and Robert Bostock kindly explain why traditional marriage initiatives all over the country, including California outperformed the Republican Party's standard bearer? Its not conservatism the American people rejected this month.

—the single accomplishment of Christie Whitman was the removal of Jim Florio from elected office. She does deserve credit for that-—

It is time to have three major parties: Liberal, Conservative, Mushy Middle.

“Christine Whitman and Robert Bostock: GOP can’t afford to remain hostage to social fundamentalists”

Bring it on oh thou misguided ones.
We won’t be fooled again. You have destroyed what Reagan has built.
Let Democrats be Democrats.
Please leave our party, and go join your soul mates at the party that begins with D.

Dearest Christine

I understand that the Dhimmicrat party has an opening in it for a liberal former Governor from NJ.

please leave.

Whitman is great for ultra-liberal states like NJ.

She should really stay there and quit trying to go national.

A good way to destroy the Republican party and ensure minority status forever would be to listen to Christie Todd Whitman and the rest of the RINO’s.

The author of the article claims that the democrats won a “landslide” victory. A victory, yes, but NOT a landslide.

The republicans did poorly because an entrenched, uninspiring RINO, a Washington insider, was the head of the ticket. Sarah Palin prevented a democrat landslide.

Republicans never win when they run as “Democrat Lite”.

“f the social conservatives are what’s destroying the Republican Party, will Christine Whitman and Robert Bostock kindly explain why traditional marriage initiatives all over the country, including California outperformed the Republican Party’s standard bearer?

The point is, there are a lot more of US than there are of THEM.

So why do we put up with this crappola? The ‘republican’ label is tainted beyond repair. These RINO’s are demanding democrat lite (not very lite,either!) as a way to change it.. Abandon this old worn out GOP and let it sink into history where it belongs.

That’s the ‘change’ we need.

In Whitman's case it is “Dingbat middle”

You can throw the Texas witch, Hutchinson in on that as well.

It takes either a very stupid or willfully ignorant politician not to acknowledge that the great majority of McCain/Palin voters were of the social conservative variety. It takes stupidity not to notice that the only thing that binds the Republican Party to the small Hispanic and Black vote it does manage to attract is those same social conservative issues.

“On Nov. 4, the American people very clearly rejected the politics of demonization and division.”

Clueless....all Obama did for two years was sow demonization and division...

Bleh.
