It is this sort of thinking among the republican "leaders" (to use the term advisedly) that will get Obama elected. IF the republicans don't get their thumbs out and do somthing other than emulate democrats (compassionate conservatism is nothing but socialism with a slower timetable) the the voters will dump them, and they'll deserve to be dumped.
It’s not the (elected) Republicans who are the key, it’s US the contituency who must do something. That something is get out and VOTE for the Party candidate.
By “this sort of thinking”, are you referring to Murdoch’s remarks or to what I wrote?
