She is the Country Club RNC, that stands up for nothingness.
They still don't get it. It's easier to blame the "fundamentalists" than to look in the mirror for the Republicrat Not Can't.

My prescription is to kick you and your friends the hell out of the party. You’ll be welcome on the Democrat aisle but you deserve nothing more then a sooted black boot imprint on your backside.
Sure (taking advice from losers)....we get advice from Dems all the TIME!!!! /sarc
I didn’t read one word of her editorial and I know what it says.
Much like my idol Rush says, I know these people like I know every inch of my glorious naked body.
Except mine really is much more glorious than Rush’s. My brain isn’t as great as his but if this were a posedown I’d kick Rush’s butt :-)....
Let me guess:
The thesis is that conservatives should become more like libs and turn the GOP into socialism lite.
Am I right?
That’s because they are a recipe for success from the media’s standpoint. They obliterated the Republican parties they were in charge of. An uncontested ultraleft radical rodent supermajority is their goal in every state and at the federal level. They’ve accomplished the latter and now they’re going state-by-state to accomplish the former.
Liberal lite or liberal ultra lite or socialist.
Why should there be a republican party if the republican party is populated by the Whitmans and the Snowes?
They all need the same party.
Conservatives need something different.
Whitman is an idiot. She sees the facts, and reaches the wrong, opposing conclusion to the truth.
McCain was the moderate’s moderate. HE was the darling of the centrists, the man who was seriously considered (if not actually offered) a reasonable choice for Kerry’s VP slot, who was equally expected to possibly pick Lieberman (the 2000 Democrat VP pick) as his own VP.
And yet, as Whitman points out, moderates voted for the far-left liberal Obama over the centrist McCain.
This proves that “appealing to the moderates” cannot be done by actually picking a moderate. It seems moderates don’t like moderates running the country, and are drawn to candidates who have firm convictions and are well to the left OR right.
If Whitman could explain what it is about McCain that “turned off moderates”, she might actually educate herself to the truth. But it’s a lot easier for her to just assert against the facts that somehow it’s the social conservatives that are at fault.
The last Republican governor of New Jersey stubbornly holds to the outdated notion that 1+1=2. The new math says that 1-1=3. You just have to think outside the box.
This woman is under some strange delusion as McCain's campaign was about reform and ending *earmarks* and evil corrupt Wall Street, and winning in Iraq. I do not recall McCain bringing up abortion, gay rights and stem cell research. And is was not her most hated group 'social fundies' alone that passed that Prop A legislation. She did not do her homework.
AND it was liberals and high minded moderates that selected John McCain in the first place as the Republican nominee..... I think this is an underhanded slap at Sarah which high minded moderates always do. They more than any other group consider themselves above all the rest and they NEVER take responsibility for their own actions. Let her point her accusing finger as she and the rest of her ilk finally slide down their highly esteemed mount of intellectualism to the dark side.
Pay no attention to her, let her go back to her Bedminister, NJ (Rockefeller Estate) and take her daughters to the Debutante Ball's like her mother did.
Christine Todd Whitman, feel free to leave the GOP anytime. Seriously. Any time.
Whitman is the REASON the GOP is in a mess.
Whitman RINOs are the disease,
Reagan Conservatives (palin) are the cure.
No, but I do remember Barack Obama running like hell away from his own history on abortion. If the leftist position on abortion is the winner, why do democrats all lie about their actual level of support for it?
Its amusing how moderates out of office want to lecture on political matters.
The good news is this election cycle debunks their claims that elections are won or lost ‘in the middle’.
Nope. Elections are lost when one party, in 2008 the GOP, nominates a guy that couldn’t win a primary when it mattered in 2000 OR this year.
40 states have voted to ban gay marraige. Yet Witless wants us on the wrong side of that vote.
Exactly.
So, become democRATs, that’s what you’re saying Christine?
No thanks. It’s statist liberals like you who have ruined the GOP.
