The GOP should ditch the elephant and adapt Han Solo as their mascot - "It's not my fault!"
Sorry, but it wasn't the fault of voters that the GOP slapped earmarks on appropriations bills for the Iraq War and out Democrated the Democrats on spending over the last six years.
It wasn't the fault of voters that the GOP cavorted with K-street.
It wasn't the fault of voters that Hastert was utterly clueless for dealing with corruption, including his insane protests of the FBI raid of Jefferson's office.
It wasn't the fault of the voters that the GOP abandoned just about every stated principle from the Reagan revolution and the 1994 revolution.
So if you want to properly affix blame, look within the party leadership. Unless, of course, you're content with having the GOP slide back into perpetual minority status.
The GOP didn't behave terribly well in many aspects, but it ain't nothing compared to what we're going to live through. Probably for decades.
Agreed. The GOP is to blame for why they lost. But imo, you're gonna see corruption and scandals in both (republican or democrat) parties to some degree. It just so happened the Rats focused primarily on the GOP scandals and corruption (nevermind all of theirs) and unfortunately, the sheeple of the Democrats, followed all the trails they were led on.
IMHO, considering what the Rats are going to do to this country, I still would take the GOP over them. High spending or not.
If they are so sure it was because FreeRepublic was the case of the GOP's downfall, let them start naming names. According to them, FReepers were the sole reason.
All they do is bitch and moan about the voters, they refuse to affix the blame where it belongs, at the feet of the rinos and spineless, gutless republican politicians who threw it away bending to the likes of the dims.
Once that shamenesty is passed, they can say goodbye for decades to come the hope of republicans having any power whatsoever. Who will the bots blame for that, the voters or the politicians who sold them down the river? My guess is they'll blame the voters again, and this time they'll be right. The dims are replacing all the voters they aborted. Replenishing their ranks.
That was a good one, just thinking about that pisses me off again.
