The “punishment” that needs to be meted out is to Obama. But, hey... why should the Republicans alter their penchant for circular firing squads? It`s certainly fun entertainment for the enemy party.
If there were a Lee Atwater type in the Republican Party now, Mitt Romney wouldnt have over 10% in the polls right now and he would be on tv every day trying to explain why he was trying to out liberal than Teddy Kennedy when he was running for gov. Even Jay Leno has made jokes about that.
We need leaders who fight back against the elite people who think they are so much better than us. Romney is a part of the problem.
If more than 1% of the Republican party is like you, I don’t want to be a Republican anymore. You are happy to throw people like Palin under the bus while you are willing to give Mitt Romney a..(explicit act that you will know on the first guess)
