--Republicans Rocked in Mississippi
You may have heard by now that House Republicans were planning on coming out with a new slogan this week to energize the base. After working for weeks on this new slogan Republicans came up with this:
"The Change You Deserve"Unfortunately, it was immediately pointed out by the Left that this was already the marketing slogan for Effexor, an anti-depressant.
Last night brought more bad news to Republicans...
After a shameful display of dishonest race-baiting, Democrats won a special Congressional election in a historically Republican district in Mississippi that voted 62 percent for President Bush in 2004.
It was the third House seat won by Democrats in a formerly "safe" Republican district this year.
In response to the devastating loss in Mississippi, NRCC Chairman Tom Cole released the following statement:
"We are disappointed in tonight's election results. Though the NRCC, RNC and Mississippi Republicans made a major effort to retain this seat, we came up short.John Bresnahan at The Crypt described the current situation for Republicans looking ahead at this fall's elections:
"Tonight's election highlights two significant challenges Republicans must overcome this November. First, Republicans must be prepared to campaign against Democrat challengers who are running as conservatives, even as they try to join a liberal Democrat majority. Though the Democrats' task will be more difficult in a November election, the fact is they have pulled off two special election victories with this strategy, and it should be a concern to all Republicans.
"Second, the political environment is such that voters remain pessimistic about the direction of the country and the Republican Party in general. Therefore, Republicans must undertake bold efforts to define a forward looking agenda that offers the kind of positive change voters are looking for. This is something we can do in cooperation with our Presidential nominee, but time is short.
"I encourage all Republican candidates, whether incumbents or challengers, to take stock of their campaigns and position themselves for challenging campaigns this fall by building the financial resources and grassroots networks that offer them the opportunity and ability to communicate, energize and turn out voters this election."
This whole statement is an admission by Cole that he does not now how House Republicans can win in November as a group, so each member better protect himself or herself. To his credit, Cole has been warning his members that they need to run as outsiders this fall, but beyond that general admonition, the Oklahoma Republican can't show them a path to victory. It's an extraordinary statement by the head of a national campaign committee...Indeed.
More... Via Instapundit, Jerry Purnelle says, "The post-Gingrich Republicans who invented 'big government conservatism' have much to answer for."
The only way Americans will understand why the Democrat Party is evil is for them to experience a real High Misery Index, not the made-up Hollywood MSM version we are told happens whenever the Republican Party is in power.
ReplyDeleteWhen the High Misery Index comes, the majority of American will come to despise Change.
The GOP is going to get waxed, and they deserve it.
ReplyDeleteNot sure what the message is when the GOP states "the change you deserve."
ReplyDeleteI'll just have to assume that they are requesting that I assist in removing all the incumbent Republicans up for re-election with the hope that eventually a true Conservative will be elected to their presently held office.
Quiz for the republican "tic's" (twits-in-charge): How do you spell RINO? In November, write me another useless letter begging for money, and include your description of how the crow-casserole went down. Idiots.
ReplyDeleteBTW, WHERE'S THE FENCE, juan mccain?
Nothing wrong with RINOs if they actually stood for at least one or two Republican principles.
ReplyDelete1. Win the War
2. Stop spending like drunken sailors.
3. All the rest optional
OTOH if conservatives stay home out of pique they will get the change they deserve, including some Supreme Court Justices they will be thrilled with for decades to come.
Let me add that there is nothing wrong with voting for a World War by staying home. These regional conflicts are just not exciting enough.
ReplyDeleteTo those who claim there are worse things than liberalism, don't bother. I don't want the choice of being slowly lowered into acid, or dropped in all at once.
ReplyDeleteBTW, simon, juan mccain, AKA the new global warming guru, has already told us Conservatives to sit down and shut up. If you (and he) are foolish enough to believe that rinos can expect anything other than OUTRAGE in return, you are as stupid as the RNC. Have you even SEEN the pattern of elections since 2006? Keep those rino blinders on, boy, the lessons won't stop. Conservatives know that appeasement never works.
Good Job! :)
