Rush is wise but he is wrong here. There’s always that “We must purify ourselves” thing going after a defeat. That’s how the Arab terrorists got so hot after Israel kicked their behinds a few times. Hitler in the bunker was the same way, “The Germanpeople deserve to die because they weren’t dedicated enough or pure enough, whatever.’

How about this for the GOP, “We lost because we are stupid and don’t what we’re talking about. We put way too much trust into laisse faire capitalism and we listened to all the stupid little geeks with their spreadsheet programs.

We lost because we are way too greedy and appealed to peoples greed like “”Lower taxes” is the chief thing on everybody’s mind. But,being the GOP, we just assumed everybody in the universe is as greedy as we are.

We lost because we lost touch with humanity and don’t give a rat’s a** about the poor, the struggling, the hopeless, as long as somebody doesn’t take our precious frigging money from us.

We lost because we are a smug bunch of arrogant a**holes who really don’t give a flip about the USA, and the citizens thereof, as long as we got our piece of the pie.

That would be a good start, IMHO.

parsy, who thinks the GOP lost its way a long time ago.

Just can't wait for Obama to start "spreading the wealth around," huh...?

It's not about the money per se, it's about the fundamental right to keep what you earn. No conservative wants government intrusion into their lives divvying up their wages as they see fit any more than necessary. Do you really believe that conservatives would never contribute to charity, of their choosing, without the government confiscating their money and giving it to what they want? Things we may totally oppose? I don't mean roads and bridges. It's just like the growing intrusion into parental rights, while parents pay for the "privilege". That's antithetical to individual liberty.

“We put way too much trust into laisse faire capitalism”

You are part of the problem.

Rush is saying we need to go BACK to the basics.

Take your socialism somewhere else.

I see you are still posting your the GOP is GREEDY...crap.

We lost because we lost touch with humanity and don’t give a rat’s a** about the poor, the struggling, the hopeless, as long as somebody doesn’t take our precious frigging money from us.

You are a pathetic creature.....

Conservatives, & Republicans are THE most generous people in this country.

We give...more in time and $$ than any other people in this country. We tithe, AND we give, we give, and we give....and YOU want us to give more.

Obama....is this you!!???
