Still the Stupid Party - Do Republicans really deserve to win big in 2010?

National Review Online ^ | January 07, 2010 | Kevin Williamson

[neverdem]

I disagree with the author about energy independence. Imported energy makes up a huge part of our current accounts deficit.

[RIRed]

It’s 2006, only in reverse. The minority party doesn’t deserve to win, but the majority party deserves to lose.

[Carley]

Here we go. Let’s bash our side. Give aid and comfort to America’s enemies both within and abroad.

[constant]

Do Republicans Deserve to Win?

Two words.

You Betcha.

> Do Republicans really deserve to win big in 2010?

Not unless they grow a SPINE.

I’d rather have an ignoramus with common sense, a moral compass, and a brave heart than a cowardly, effete, intellectual snob.

ANY day.

Do Republicans really deserve to win big in 2010?

Probably not but will America survive if they're not? If we don't put the brakes on the democrats in November I fear for this country's future.

[Plumres]

The Republicans are the only hope this country has left!

[Cicero]

National Review is broken. This guy is a jerk. And he’s obviously just the kind of jerk the jerks at the top are hiring.

No energy independence? No defense against terrorism?

I hate to think what this guy was looking for on the immigration issue. He doesn’t actually say, but he probably favors amnesty, judging from the rest of it.

[screaminsunshine]

No, but they will thanks to us. The Tea Party is on the case. The Donks are up a creek. They can not run the America Sucks campaign because they are in charge. They are out of ammo.

[Rodebrecht]

Do Republicans deserve to win?

Only the good ones.

[RIRed]

So Lindsey Graham offering to support cap and trade is an example of deserving to win?

For the record, I would vote for Graham over the Dem, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be honest in answering the question.

[ABQHispConservative]

Well, if the Republicans don’t deserve, does that mean the rats do? I swear, some of these authors are writing just to write something. We can change things during the primaries. That’s when we get conservatives on the ticket. If we can’t even do that, then we should suck it up.

[ronnie raygun]

Instead of bitching and moaning we know what needs to be done to the party to be accepted by the conservative and independent base. JUST DO IT! These rats would like nothing more than to use thier divide and conquer tactic. This they are good at and we will see it when November gets closer and immigration reform is brouhgt front and center and they make every attempt to make it a racial issue.

[RichInOC]

I’m guessing the Democrats are not going to run on a hate-the-troops, hose-the-veterans, molest-the-children platform.

Well, no, but that’s how they’re running the government.

[fish hawk]

Let me do a little bashing here! Hell no the Republicans had the house, the senate, the white house and blew the whole damn thing. They deserve what they are getting right now. On the other hand, CONSEVATIVES deserve to win. Notice I keep “republican” and “conservative” separate because most Republicans are gutless RINOs. They called me to give money again this year and I'm betting I get no more calls from them. People like Lindsey Graham are total idiots and need to be aborted. There are too many of them in there and I say clean out our own party by flushing before we try to tackle the Democrats. I quit telling people I'm a Republican now and instead tell them I'm a conservative.

[ShadowAce]

No, but the Dems sure do deserve to lose.

[fish hawk]

BS! Conservatives are our only hope. Republicans had it and were you happy with the spending etc. ? The party sucks big time and until that is remedied , no money from me.

[freekitty]

Ignore and don’t elect Rinos. Elect conservatives.

[BradyLS]

It’s not enough to put on the brakes. We need to turn the car around, too.

[pgkdan]

Absolutely. But I think we’ll need a victory in 2012 to do that.
