Jeb Bush had a good line, about the GOP being kind of stupid wondering why they lost when they campaigned almost solely about what they were against, which seemed to be health care, the environment, young people, hispanics....
The GOP is deeply split right now. There are some die hard take it to the grave right wingers who are increasingly going to give the GOP a bad name. Then there's the crunchy cons who actually have a real chance to take over the party.
Ah, here's Jeb's quote:
"Conservatives need to do the math.
We can’t be anti-Hispanic, anti-young
person and anti many things and be
surprised when we don’t win elections."
Then there's the John Derbyshire faction:
"This shallow, ignorant, self-obsessed man, who held an actual job for just one year
of his charmed life, this red-diaper baby and his wife, will be our First Couple for the
next four years and some weeks. It’ll be interesting."
Please, oh please keep it up. As long as these idiots are the larger faction of the GOP, democrats will sit pretty.
