My vote goes to obama for jerk of the week
The guy’s got a point about our ol’ buddy Nover Grorquist. He deserves at least honorable mention.
Obama is a symptom. Obama isn't the cause of this malaise, and getting rid of Obama won't solve this malaise.
A major contributor to the CAUSE of this malaise is a Republican party that has made functional statist Democrats of Republican voters. When I voted for McCain, for Arnold, and for Meg Whitman, I may have been "Republican" in intention, but in practice, I was a functional Democrat. Everyone here who voted for Romney may have been Republican in intention, but had Romney won, those who voted for him would have reaped the FUNCTIONAL CONSEQUENCES of voting Democrat.
I think rightwingerpatriot is saying that CPAC is continuing that trend of monopolizing the "Republican" label while functionally advancing Democrat policies. That gets my vote for "jerk of the decade."
