It seems all we have in the GOP now are RINOs and DOGs.
The DOGs are the ones that go around and pee on everything in sight.
Maybe the GOP can hire Naomi Wolf to advise party members on what to wear. I think earth tones should do the job.
Your attacks on Gov. Palin have been personal.
You don’t like strong women who are Conservative Republicans, No problem.
Freedom, Liberty and the Constitution do not require “rebranding.” The GOP just needs to go on the offensive and kick the snot out of our enemies: liberalism, tyranny and despotism.
Unfortunately, Ronald Reagan passed from the scene some time ago.

Why did an image of Lindsey Graham immediately appear when I read that? LOL
You sound like a member of the elite corp of impudent snobs.
Again, you make no comment about the subject. Just personal attacks on me, attacks by the way for which you proffer no evidence or facts to support; Just wild accusations because someone has pointed out failings of a person with whom you seem to be obsessed.
You can point to not a single book, magazine article, newspaper column or internet essay that has been authored by Palin. Palin was an unknown enigma before McCain plucked her out of obscurity to try and capture some excitement to battle Obama. She failed miserably in everyone of her press appearances, demonstrated an almost elementary understanding of world politics and showed no depth or gravitas when speaking about domestic political, economic or constitutional issues.
Again, Margret Thatcher is a world-class intellect with unparalleled international experience, a blue ribbon education and a deep bibliography on a wide range of subjects. Sarah Palin has none of those things.
Sounds like a weak cuppa tea to me.
Wow. Personal attacks sure are popular when you can't counter an argument. I guess you all have a much better understanding of all the weighty, thorough and wide-ranging position papers that Palin has written. I can't wait for you to post them so I can educate myself to Palin's experience and well-articulated positions. I'm all ears.

Sarah Palin is ‘the new Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan’
American conservatives have reacted with near ecstasy to the Republican convention speech by Governor Sarah Palin of Alaska....
A star is born. She stuck the knife in with a big smile, a kind of ‘Make my day’ look,” said Michael Barone, conservative columnist and editor of “The Almanac of American Politics”.
In a column entitled “Welcome Back, Dad”, Michael Reagan, adopted son of the late president, wrote: “I saw my Dad reborn; only this time he’s a she. And what a she!”
Larry Kudlow asked whether “we’re not witnessing the Western frontier version of Margaret Thatcher”.
He added: “She connected really well with middle-class working folks, both in cultural and social terms, which is no small feat: values matter and the Democrats are in trouble here - big-time. The more they go after Palin culturally, as they have already, the more trouble they’ll fall into.”
Jonah Goldberg of the conservative “National Review” enthused: “She was put on this earth to do two things: kill caribou and kick butt. She’s all out of caribou.”
Mrs Palin electrified the Republican convention, declaring herself an “average hockey mom” and launching a blistering attack on Barack Obama, the Democratic nominee and his “clouds of rhetoric”.
After three days of scorn from Democrats and relentless media scrutiny, Mrs Palin came out punching, mocking Mr Obama as someone who makes “dramatic speeches before devoted followers” and has “authored two memoirs but not a single major law or reform - not even in the state senate”.
Throwing down the gauntlet to the press, she said: “I’m not a member of the permanent political establishment. And I’ve learned quickly, these past few days, that if you’re not a member in good standing of the Washington elite, then some in the media consider a candidate unqualified for that reason alone.
“But here’s a little news flash for all those reporters and commentators: I’m not going to Washington to seek their good opinion; I’m going to Washington to serve the people of this country.”
Did ya notice their name? The "National Council for a New America"?
I think this has less to do with the GOP than re-shaping the U.S. into their globalist dreams. That's my guess, anyway.
Judging by some of the cast of characters leading the charge, I’d have to agree.
The GOP doesn’t need re-branding; it needs a return to its Reagan roots that made it a majority party:
New blood, old values.
Specter has it right: he became a democrat because the Republican party is no longer hospitable to him (and because Toomey is beating the pants off him in early primary polling).
I want a Republican Party that is no longer hospitable to pols like Specter. His defection is a blessing.
No pale pastels. Bold colors for 2010.
A quick search on the title provided the following sites:

Nothing from what I would consider ‘trustworthy’ sources. Not what I would consider strong a strong GOP statement (much less considervative).
Bottom line from my perspective: you’re dead on. It’s agitprop.
The only parts of your rants that I would agree with have to do with Lady Thatcher being the epitome of a great, courageous Conservative leader.
Instead of leaving it at that and maybe adding a word or two
about the Governor of Alaska, you had to enter the smarmy,
“I don’t know if Palin has even written a recipe for her school bake sale.”
Is this adding to the conversation, or is this just regurgitating the same palaver that most limp wristed, light in the loafers libs on PMSNBC spew daily.?
Just why you felt compelled to add that sentence says quite about you, FRiend.
I'm in your camp although I believe the GOP does need better packaging to negate the "party of no" and "old" labels that the left/RINOS are throwing at it. Perhaps something like "values are timeless." We need to get away from being "against taxes" and instead be "for smaller government" and "for freedom." Etc. Of course, that means that we also need to purge the big-government RINOs that would make such a message impossible to sell.
What sources do you consider ‘trustworthy’?
Could you list them, please?
