That’s it! That’s what the GOP is missing as part of their “rebranding”.

Another left wing lunatic giving an advice how to make the Republican Party wins again. No thanks but we will go with Limbaugh and Cheney.

Who the hell is Bonnie Erbe, and what business is it of hers to make such an observation? Good question.

Nope. THe RNC needs MORE Limbaugh, more William F. Buckley, more Milton Friedman, more Ronald Reagan with veto pen power, more Scalia, more Clarence Thomas, more Walter Williams.
The RINOs need to embrace the fact they are liberals and join their democrat liberal cousins. Let them spend their time asking the libs to change and compromise. we’re done with them. They can all seriously have sex with themselves with a splintery broomhandle.

Bonnie Erbe is a burned-out hippie who substitutes nasty cynicism for journalistic judgement This quote taken from her Scripps-Howard column as it appeared in the Denver Rocky Mountain News:
I have a confession to make: More than 25 years ago I used an illegal narcotic. Im not running for President, nor any political office for that matter. And the statute of limitations has surely run out on my transgression. So its safe to come clean. I wont make you guess about which drug it was. It was heroin. And here come the gory details. I snorted it no, I didnt inject it. I was caught up in the drug culture of the late 60s and early 70s, which I state as a reason, not an excuse. And, oh yes, prior to trying heroin I smoked a lot of different types of marijuana and hashish (yes, inhaling all the time) and took a wide variety of hallucinogens: mescaline, LSD, you name it. Well, I not only survived that stupor, I excelled at high school studies and extracurricular activities during it.
Groovy.

You know, of course, that Hatch, like Arlen Specter, started out as a Democrat and switched parties only because there was an opening on the Republican ticket.

The leftist are trying to divide us. They are looking for anyone on the right that might be easily lead astray. (like most of there kool-aid drinkers are.) Conservatives need to stand firm on the constitution, not be afraid to speak the truth about what Obama, the dems and there comrades in the media are; communist. If only the public school had taught people what the communist party is all about and how many millions of people they murdered in the last century.

He’s gay, his wife is a beard. He hangs out in Key West with his boyfriend from what I’ve heard. Supposedly he’s helping him open a boutique there.

Surely you accidentally forgot the “/sarc” tag - right?
Reagan was NOT a moderate; he was a conservative through and through! He believed in small government, state based decisions and the STRONGEST defense is the best defense!
If that is moderate, then hey - we need more moderates. But heck in that case, JFK would be a Republican by today’s standards!

The GOP needs more Charlie Crists, fewer Rush Limbaughs, Dick Cheneys and Sarah Palins as it seeks, phoenix-like, to rise from the funeral pyre.
Bonnie, your political astuteness matches your writing ability--they both suck! One needs look no farther than your first sentence. It should have been "The GOP needs more Charlie Crists, fewer Rush Limbaughs, Dick Cheneys and Sarah Palins as it seeks to rise, phoenix-like, from the funeral pyre." You got the "phoenix-like" modifier in the wrong place. No one talks about a phoenix seeking to do anything. They talk about what it does, which is rising reborn from the ashes of the previous phoenix. But you're also mixing metaphors. The phoenix doesn't build a "funeral pyre" upon which it is burned after it dies. It builds a nest which ignites, burning itself and the nest to ashes from which either another phoenix arises or within which a phoenix egg appears from which the next phoenix hatches. Nowhere in the phoenix story is there any sense of defeat; rather, the phoenix is an immortal being which can both regenerate when wounded as well as heal humans with its tears and make them temporarily immune from death.
If the Republican phoenix has been injured by a foe, it has been the foe of liberalism which has tried to corrupt its nature. What it needs to do, then, is to heal and become like it was during its greatest health: when Ronald Reagan defeated Jimmy Carter and managed to get most of his program enacted even with a bitterly partisan Democrat House and Senate and when the Republicans took back control of the U.S. Legislature for the first time in several decades. Those were the winners. Those are the ones the GOP needs to emulate. Become a Republican-flavored socialist teething biscuit? Never.

Good evening.
I don't know who Bonnie Erbe is, but one thing is for sure, she doesn't have anything swinging...if you catch my drift.

He’s gay. He has been seen in Key West with gays. Ask Bruce Jordan and Jason Weatherington. I’m sure if he’s elected he and odumbo will have some late night trysts in the WH basement.

Be AWARE please this is part of the plan. Get RINO’S elected. Then there is NO chance to stop this train wreck except a revolution and drag the traitors to the Constitution out of DC. If we don’t elect real Republicans we are doomed.
