Until the GOP produces solid centrist leaders (as Bush the Younger was perceived to be), it will remain in the minority. Remember when Ashcroft lost to a dead man in Missouri? The entire Democratic Congress could crash in a plane, and the GOP would fall five seats short of a majority.
It is a sad commentary on the Republican Party when there are no leaders to stand up and express outrage as the GOP is being hyjacked by extremists.
What would Sen. Goldwater, President DDE or President TR say in response to the jingoism, racisim, divisive language and references to "Second Amendment solutions" expressed by Republican members of Congress, former an active, and former and current Republican Governors ?
As titular leader of the Republicans we might expect Steele to speak out, and as possible nominees for the office of president one might expect Romeny or Barbour or Jindal to speak out for reason and honest debate, but they don't.
President's Lincoln, Roosevelt and Eisenhower would be ashamed, the GOP has become the party of hackneyed phrases and hysterical rants; and has produced not a single leader able, willing and brave enough to articulate a way forward.
The party needs electable national leaders, and that is not the case.
Address the evidence, leave off the personal attacks, and you might have creditability.
Right now, you are with Yurt and bigreb and a couple of others as the losers of the reactionary right on this board.
Address the evidence. Or you are the King Fool of the Unsubstantiated Statement.
Nope, he no more deserted than John Kerry was a coward.

What evidence? That Obama appointed Shinseki? WHo disagrees he did that??
Ten pages in and still only one post suggesting potential leaders of the Republican Party. How pitiful. Of course of the two Kevin Kennedy suggested only Ron Paul has had the guts to call out the fringe.

Go back and read it, Rabbi. The article addresses the dispute the General had with the admin on the number of boots needed to win the peace. It proves he was right, and the admin was wrong.

Yep, the fact is (as admitted by the shrub himself) is that he failed to report to his duty station, at the appointed time and wearing his proper uniform for a period of time in excess of Five (05) Months.
Later, he failed to report to his assigned Air National Guard Unit after transfering, he was going for his Master's. He NEVER REPORTED TO THE UNIT.
While it is in fact true, that curiously stupid george did apply for what was called "Early Release" from his Air National Guard Contract, it is also in fact true that he decided to leave the Air National Guard before such a release was ever given. This is tibit was cause of much friction between the shrub and his father for many years.
GEORGE BUSH IS A DESERTER. GEORGE BUSH IS A COWARD.
What?
How about the far left extremist's (progressives) who have taken over the Dem's? Twisting the arms of moderates and conservative dems to vote for their bills. It's their way or the highway.

The Republican party is controlled by people who hate democracy, hate America and basically hate the American people.
That has been obvious for decades.
The Dems, FWIW, aren't much better in my never humble opinion.
Both parties have consistenty voted to ship us jobs offshore......

Far left? Even if from your perspective the changes offered by the Democrats are 'far left'; most of what they have accomplished was promised during the campaign and IMHO necessary for the country. Of course we can and should debate issues, such as changes in domestic and foreign policy or 'staying the course' set by Bush&Co. But debate should be honorable and rational. My biggest complaint being the Republcian Party is so focused on returning to power they rely solely on emotion and demogoguery.
Where are the leaders of the Republican Party? Why has the GOP devolved and fractured into half a dozen or more ad hoc groups?
Because, there is no one leader able to bring consensus to an alternative to the Democratic Agenda (which I generally support, btw). Both the D's and R's if left unchecked will drift further away from the wants and needs of the great middle.
Few of us would want an ideologue to make the rules, most Americans (I believe) want a problem solver, someone who understands the problems and dreams of all Americans and is able to articulate a pragmatic approach to achieving them.
The R's have no one on the horizon willing to step up and provide a plan. Sadly the only opposition to the D's today are ideologues and demagogues. If I'm wrong, name one.
Would that be anything like the debating done by the Democrats on the stimulus or the health care bill? You remember, no one read it because there wasn't time, and all the nice little backroom deals. That kind of Debating?
