His architecture this last election looked like the Tacoma Narrows bridge.

Rove is missing one big thing. The GOP in congress are addicted to pork and have become no better than the Dems on spending. Why is the Department of Education still a cabinet level department? Because small government reformers like Ronald Reagan and Newt Gingrich have gone away and no charismatic leader has taken charge? Jeff Flake? They just shove him aside and continue spending our tax money on their pet projects. This GOP is not the GOP of 1994.

Rove’s right...sounds like the Democrats are up a creek without a paddle...and so are the Pubs. I liked the comment on Pelosi/Reid’s rapid downhill slide.

How did we get to such a dismal selection?

They need to press a reform agenda full of sharp contrasts with the Democrats.

Yup, and Queeg is doing just that with his Global Warming tour..../s

I know it’s way out of fashion in the GOP establishment these days, but try limited gov’t, individual rights, and personal responsibility on for size.

A recent survey offers some encouraging news. Mr. McCain is polling as high as 41% with Hispanics – close to President Bush's 44% in 2004.

Are they likely voters?

Are they legal likely voters?

Bush’s Brain did not mention immigration and fiscal restraint. Those are two issues this conservative cares PASSIONATELY about.

The GOP once stood for small government, individualism, self-reliance, entrepreneurship, a strong & adequate defense, adherence to the U.S. Constitution, a level playing field without resorting to set-asides and reverse discrimination, lowering taxes, cutting red tape & unnecessary regulation, civil rights and freedom. What was wrong with those things?!

Well we did Karl and the guy that said that he stood for what we stood for suddenly.......didn’t. Over and over again. There is not major differences between the 2 parties their is just varying degrees of difference. None of which I stand for.

If I were the GOP, I’d worry more about attracting their base than attracting youths, and Hispanics.

Reading the excerpt, Karl’s apparently in denial about a lot of the damage he and Bush did to the Republican base, from failing to protect the country from illegal parasites, and not standing up for judicial nominees.

Under Rove tutelage the GOP stood for open borders and unlimited spending.
Having wrecked the GOP, he’s now making a pretty penny surveying the debris.
Do us all a favor, Karl: join the Democrats, and do for them what you did for us.

the GOP can't take "safe" seats for granted when Democrats run conservatives who distance themselves from their national party leaders. The string of defeats should cure Republicans of the habit of simply shouting "liberal! liberal! liberal!" in hopes of winning an election. They need to press a reform agenda full of sharp contrasts with the Democrats.

What kind of strategy identifies that the 'rats win by hitting us from the right, and then saying we need a "reform" agenda?

And how did the GOP let the 'rats get to their right to begin with? Karl? Dubya? Anybody home? Hello?

Crap. Lights are on but nobody's home.

I must say, the dimmocrats are onto something here. You get a social conservative, with a shot of populism, and you have a tough southern candidate. We are not that many years removed from Dimmocrat dominance in the south, and many boomers grew up in that environment.

The GOP better get it’s act together.

“...And while many Americans are concerned about the economy, most are satisfied with their own finances...”

Satisfied ? How about resigned to the state of their own finances which is sinking by the day.....Even a halfwit WSJ journalist has to admit that rising gas, food and commodity prices is cutting deeply into the family budget and in the meantime it is Happy Hour as usual on Pennsylvania Avenue...The Republicans in Congress need to take off the blinders and start legislating some solutions and make the tax cuts permanent already; get some friggin backbone already or they will be thrown out...The Dems are going to mop the floor in November unless the Reps get busy..imagine a Democratic House and Senate with a Dem President?...what a nightmare...

No matter it’s explained that a conservative Democrat defeats a conservative Republican, it makes no sense that it should happen, let alone in Mississippi.

If I had an identical twin brother who agreed with me on every issue, but he ran as a Democrat, I wouldn’t vote for him. It’s baffling that voters in these conservatives districts don’t attach the needed importance to the fact that, no matter how conservative, these Dems. will be caucusing with Pelosi and all the leftist whacko Dems. in the House. Their vote was also a vote for Pelosi and all those whackos who’ll retain the majority and the chairmanships of all committees. It makes no sense.
