Exactly! It's about marketing the message. People out there are working their buns off to make the conservative message palatable to the widest audience to grow the base to (hello?) win elections and some self-serving bomb-thrower who evidently could care less whether conservatives ever actually achieve majority status in this country as long as she sells more books, cavalierly pisses it away just to get a cheap, petty laugh.
There are obviously some conservatives who would be happy to lose 2008 so they can sit as the minority in a giant circle-jerk & point their fingers & giggle at all the "homos" together until Al Quaeda takes over. Did Ann attack Edwards on the issues? No, she chose the opportunity to fling out a totally lame, incredibly juvenile, supremely inane third-grade level insult which makes serious, reasonable adults of all persuasions cringe and needlessly makes the conservative "brand" more unattractive to yet MORE people. Yet, you'd think she delivered a speech on par with "Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death" from reading this thread!
All the "undecided voters" are glued to c-span taking in every word so they make their decision in two years.
Well to quote the Borat Movie, "NOT!!!"
