We can’t win the stupid vote by always worrying about being politically correct. The GOP is trying to be Democratic-lite in all things and when the voters have a choice between the real Democrat and a poser they’ll vote for the Democrat. The country has no leadership in either party so they’re going to follow the ones who promise the most government goodies. Is that what we want from all of our future leaders? If the GOP establishment wants to be Democrat-lite then it’s time already for a third party alternative.
First, third parties have a 200 year history of losing badly. You know the definition of insanity, right?
Second, there is a difference between making stupid statements in public and fighting for your agenda in the congress legislatively. The stupid public will hear the public statements but 99% of the same stupid people do not read congressional bills and drafts.
Yes, politics is a blood sport. If GOP does not field politically smart people, they deserve to lose elections. Nothing is gained by making “feel good” statements in public. Much is lost when those stupid statements cause the socialist & Godless democrats win elections. Obama now has all the power, Romney has zero power to change anything.
