Republican Hypocrisy

[Misty]

I'm saying if they want to survive as a party...I think you missed that.
They didn't do too well in '08 did they?

They didn't, but it had nothing to do with spending like crazy and putting it all on the national credit card. They lost because the economy was bad. Just like Obama will lose in 2012 in the public feels the economy is bad. As much as we want to attribute things to ideology and the resulting policy (and of course policy is important), factors beyond the control of the political process are just as, if not more, important.

They didn't do well because they have lost their way as a conservative party, Polk. There is a fine line between democrats, and republicans, and the Tea Party people are tired of it, and they came out in huge numbers. If a third party splinters the republicans, they are dead in the water.

The republicans have done everything possible to kill their party. Bush was the last straw.

However democrats are making the exact same mistakes. Obama is a different kind of bush but certainly no better.
