Republican Pity Party

This was a real wakeup call for us, someone NAMEd Robert M. Duncan, who is chairman of the Republican National Committee, told the New York Times. This was after Mississippi. We can t let the Democrats take our issues. And those issues would be? We can t let them pretend to be conservatives, he continued. Why not? Republicans pretend to be conservative every day.

The Bush White House, faced with the series of losses from 2005 through 08, has long claimed the problem is Republicans on the Hill and running for office. They have scandals, bad personalities, don t stand for anything. That s why Republicans are losing: because they re losers.

All true enough!
