I can’t believe I missed that line. “Local issues”?! Wasn’t that the strategy in 2006? Wow, that worked out so great, lets try it again!
Instead of trying to “liberate themselves from their national party label”, why not take it back? But that would involve taking responsibility for it, something Congressmen avoid like the plague. Besides, most of them are even more responsible than the President for soiling the name of the Republican Party.
The one silver lining this year will be a continued purge of the GOP. One can only hope we can take advantage of this at the grassroots level and put forth some worthy new candidates next time.
Let’s just pray that they can hang on to more than 40 seats in the Senate.
