Well good luck with your NEW moderate repub party .. and you can already plan on now winning in 2010 - no matter what Obama does or doesn’t do.

You can’t take charge when you’re spineless.

Same old RINO crapola. Brand new wrapper. When I see McCain involved, I'm not interested. Work for local conservative grass roots organizations. Raise money to support conservatives until we conquer the GOP. Then, its on to the White House and Congress.

This one deserves a three-bagger barf alert.

And what happened to Sarah Palin???? Is the GOP leadership just determined to ignore her?

I definitely agree that the GOP needs to be re-branded, but I don’t like the sound of what this new “council” is proposing. It sounds like more RINOism and “reaching-across-the-aisle.”

Sarah is the only one who can beat Obama. The GOP leadership are going to look like total fools when Sarah takes the primaries by storm, and wins the 2012 nomination. As I have repeatedly said, the liberals wouldn’t be attacking her so hard if they didn’t think she could unseat Obama.

we will seek to include more than just our ideas

Necessitated of course by the fact that they don't have a single one.

[SoldierDad]

A GOP of RINO’s will only result in my changing my affiliation to Independent. I WANT A PARTY THAT FOLLOWS CONSERVATIVE VALUES - NOT ONE THAT WILL BEND IN THE WIND

[JSDude1]

OH Great the Rino crowd just what we need more of../sarc.

[EternalVigilance]

rebranding

Lipstick on a RINO.

[Reagan Man]

For starters, any forum that includes McCain and Romney can’t be a worthwhile effort.

Btw, the article comments were priceless. ;^)

Why even bother posting anything from CNN? It’s all leftist agitprop, though some of it may appear to be right-wing agitprop.

The enemy of conservatives is the GOP. May the GOP RIP. And may John McCain go to Hell.

Look at this...McCain and Romney trying to “rebrand” the GOP.

Per popular demand I've registered at Cabelas but, again, really not necessary.
Thanks for the cool notes after my appearance on Leno. Remind me at I-CON '09 to tell you how he christens each new car in his collection. Hint: Let him change his own spark plugs.

Yesterday is not too soon for the right to focus exclusively on 2nd amendment issues. All else is lost (or as my Japanese friend, Yuka, would say: "lowst").

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Maybe the GOP can hire Naomi Wolf to advise party members on what to wear. I think earth tones should do the job.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

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.

[pissant]

Sounds like a weak cuppa tea to me.

[ziravan]

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.
