This is the future of the Republican Party

[BirminghamExaminer]

Since Americans made it clear they were tired of the way the Republicans have done things in the last 8 years on November 4th, the Republican party has struggled to find some sort of cohesion.

The Republican party has experienced an exodus from its ranks with moderate Republicans fleeing the party in haste. Since the November elections, the GOP has had difficulty finding a voice. It has seemed at times that radio entertainer Rush Limbaugh has become the de facto leader of the Republican party.

When it was time to elect a new RNC chairman, more difficulties arose. First there was Chip Saltsman who thought it was the epitome of high humor to send a "Barack the Magic Negro" CD to fellow Republicans for Christmas. Then there was Katon Dawson of South Carolina who belonged to a "whites only" country club. The GOP ended up electing Michael Steele, an African American man, perhaps hoping he would bring the magic they seem to imbue President Obama with.

Some in the GOP want to look forward and bring change to the Republican party. Others are still looking back and think the party should be even more conservative than ever despite the overwhelming evidence that a majority of Americans are tired of the ultra conservative Republican policies that led the country into one disaster after another over the last eight years.

President Obama has continually attempted to maintain the dignity of the Republican party by extending to it a hand, offering it an entry into the new world of bipartisanship. The hand hasn't been taken.

Like a group of spoiled school children, House Republicans all refused the offer and unanimously voted against economic recovery for the nation. It looks to all the world like the GOP would rather see the nation go up in flames than participate in bipartisanship.

1. Pretty soon they WILL be a "whites-only country club."

As in small in membership and just as impotent (I meant POWERLESS, you pervs!). :P

[MarianJack]

5. Looking @ mcconnell, limpballs, and such...

...I don't know if the other meaning of impotent is also fitting.

Except, of course, for family values rightists who like to screw prostitutes and underage boys.

9. They are clearly on the way to being a regional party.

Republicans dominate in the backwards, evangelical south and the Mormon west. That's it. Everywhere else, sensible Americans outnumber idiotic Republicans by growing margins. The Americans are finally winning!

I can't wait till we throw more of the wingnuts out of Congress (including, please Lord, the emetic Michele Bachmann) in 2010!

7. That video is hilarious and sad all at once

[Enthusiast]

8. I disagree.

From what I am seeing on TV, The Republicans are in control, or nearly so. They ruined the stimulus bill. They are represented on TV far in excess of their actual numbers in the legislature. Their anti-Obama rhetoric is repeated many times as if it carries great weight.
