Is he wrong when you consider that in spite of recent events, the Republican leadersip (not the average Joe) still supports open borders and amnesty, still wants lots of earmarks, still wants to undercut the President on the Iraq war effort and FISA and judicial appointments, and still treats the voters as ignorant morons just waiting to be led by their self-assumed intelligence.
Pray tell, what changes have been made by this leadership since the 2006 elections that shows they have a clue as to what went wrong?

I have to agree with you. I don’t think they understand just how much the party’s core despises the various government expansions (No Child Left Behind, prescription drug benefit, earmarks, etc) and the illegal immigration amnesty. Perhaps they are right, though. Perhaps they are only going where they think the votes are? Are conservative Americans still in the majority? I have to wonder.
It seems to me that Mitch M. is doing a pretty good job given what he is up against. Just wish he had worked as hard for our principles when we were in the majority. Maybe we still would be the majority if he had. I also want our people to start fighting as if they believed in something. You know, reasoned arguments, harsh tones, leave marks, kick a$$ take names don’t bring a pencil!
You're right, but many of the above crowd have been part of the problem.
