Republicans will announce today the creation of the "National Council for a New America," a group led by congressional party leaders that includes Bush, McCain, former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney and Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal as its "national panel of experts."

With the exception of Jindal, color me less than enthused.

They could dust off the 1994 contract with America.

I think Sarah should distance herself from the RINO party. Run independent.

If Juan’s involved, forget it. GOP is still lost in the wilderness.

If it wasn’t for Jindal being listed I would have said that it was the last of the endangered America ‘RINO’ herd circling to make their last stand.

Looking to rebrand a struggling Republican Party, a group of party heavyweights including former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and Sen. John McCain (R-Arizona)...

If they really wanted a heavyweight, they would have picked Meghan McCain.

The Juan McCain Truth File.

"I have great respect for Al Gore."
—John McCain, October 2, 2008

FR Keywords: mccaintruthfile, mcqueeg, mcbama

Please tag all relevant threads with the aforementioned keywords.

This can be a very high-volume ping list at times.

To join the ping list:
FReepmail rabscuttle385 with the subject line add  mccaintruthfile.
(Stop getting pings by sending the subject line drop mccaintruthfile.)
 
Republican Commissar’s Warning: By joining this ping list, you may be subjected to the delusional rants and ramblings of McCainiacs, of "moderate" Republicans, of pragmatic conservatives resigned to voting for the lesser of two Democrats, and of countless RNC shills who simply want to meet a new overlord.

Trim the heavyweight RINO fat from the roster, and the Republican Party would no longer be struggling.

How about attending a Tea Party, in listen only mode?

She should go ... on one condition .... anyone who ran for President in the 2008 Republican primary is uninvited or she doesn’t show.

Allow me to suggest the name "Whig" as long as McCain is involved in the effort.

Actually, "Know Nothings" would be more appropriate.
