If the Republicans continue to lose focus in their attempt to be all things to all people, they are going to lose their base.

You can't win an election with just your base. You have to try to appeal to people outside your base to win.

I doubt the Bush twins' attempt at humor is going to make many people vote for Kerry.

And if you think that someone didn't write their material, you're mistaken. It was scripted -- and targeted at a particular audience. You might just not be in it.

Where are they going to go; to Nader? Just curious.

And if they try to appeal only to their base, we end up with Kerry.

If you can't get elected, you can't get much accomplished.

arnold described the republican base well enough

anyone else appointing themselves as the base due to some narrow cultural affiliation is unamerican and unwelcome
