John Weaver: GOP "Headed For A Blowout" In 2012 If Cheney, Limbaugh, Palin Lead

[RamboLiberal]

Another leading Republican strategist has voiced concerns about the direction of the GOP.

John Weaver, a top adviser to Utah Governor John Huntsman, said this week that the Republican party is headed for an electoral "blowout" if it continues to be defined by "Palin and Limbaugh and Cheney."

The Washington Examiner reported:

"If it's 2012 and our party is defined by Palin and Limbaugh and Cheney, then we're headed for a blowout," says strategist John Weaver, who advised Huntsman and was for years a close adviser to Sen. John McCain. "That's just the truth."

9. When the GOP is 'ore

Time for them will be no mo-o-ore
I'll be satisfied I do de-e-eplore
Let it be, dear Lord, let it be !!

(You got me to remember this old gospel tune!)

[Peacetrain]

15. Can I join in harmony.....

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be.
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.

[damonm]

18. Ya know,

That might make a good descant.
I was thinking of the old gospel tune (since the Rethugs are "Christian") "Just a Closer Walk With Thee", but descanting that on the end of the verses might not be a bad idea...

[Peacetrain]

19. It sounds really good together in my head

:hi:

[opihimoimoi]

2. Social Evolution at work....if the GOP cannot change...then its EXTINCTION TIME

[pleah]

4. But, but, but, they don't believe in evolution.

Seriously, I agree. They are toast.

[opihimoimoi]

8. They are Kaput, finished, pau, Kozu, Opala, etc etc

[Turbineguy]

10. That could be complicated.

The GOP was not evolved, therefore it was created by God.

The GOP is failing, therefore God is failing.

But God is infallible.

Ah! But God has a sense of humor! :evilgrin:

5. I thought the very same thing.

This is starting to become amusing--- if it were not so pathetic.

[jesus_of_suburbia]

6. I'm so excited about our future. The Far right will destroy the GOP until at least 2020 IMO.

Hopefully longer

:rofl:

7. Conservatism is a bad idea that is out of touch and out of time

off to the dustbin with ya

[bullimiami]

13. the only thing conservative about these assholes is the label.

its not conservatism that is the problem, just as its not christianity thats a problem.

its the self styled 'conservatives' and 'christians' who are neither in principal or action that is the trouble.

[jberryhill]

17. +1

Indeed, one of the hallmarks of traditional conservatism was a reluctance to trot off on foreign adventures, and Bush gave us an entirely discretionary war.

[ShadowLiberal]

22. Agreed, Conservatives act like it's still 1980 and the rich are still taxed over 80%

The #1 problem with conservatism now is it's failed to adapt to the times, it's still stuck on trying to solve the problems of the 1980's, when we're currently dealing with the problems of the 2000's, many of which problems were caused by conservatism over the last 8 years.

[Still Sensible]

11. Therefore every democrat should make sure to slip one

or more "Cheneys," "Palins," and or "Limbaughs" into each and every sound bite. Sounds like a plan.

20. I used to worry about the ulcer the 2012 election cycle might give me but now....

... I'm starting to worry that it will be TOO boring.
