told Sherman that Fox News chief Roger Ailes has ordered his staff to
bench Rove and his fellow GOP pundit Dick Morris, two of the network’s
most vocal partisan voices whose predictions turned out to be
spectacularly wrong. According to Sherman, producers must now get
permission before booking Rove or Morris on Fox shows.

You’re still blaming a SIXTEEN POINT LOSS on Rove?
He only dreams he was that powerful.
MAYBE a bad candidate like O’Donnell’s bad loss is the fault of the

No, we didn’t.
We lost because our politcal party ****ING SUCKS.
If it didn’t ****ING SUCK, then it would not stand for voter fraud occurring at all.
Whatever happened in 2012 happened as a direct result of the GOP ****ING SUCKING.
I’m not sure if I said that the GOP ****ING SUCKS enough, so let me just summarize by saying that the GOP ****ING SUCKS!
Pardon my French, I’m tired of being back stabbed by a party that ****ING SUCKS.

Republicans prepare for a comeback: ‘We can’t come off as a bunch of angry white men’
By Chris Moody, Yahoo! News
Political Reporter
CHARLOTTE,
N.C. — Republican National Committee members gathered here to re-elect
Chairman Reince Priebus for a second term. But by week’s end, that vote
seemed secondary to the question of the party’s long term survival.
After
three months of denial, anger, despair and depression over the results
of a bruising national election that gave Democrats an edge in Congress
and kept President Barack Obama in the White House, Republicans know
they must adapt if they are to move forward.
They acknowledge that it’s time for a serious gut check. (Or as Haley Barbour put it in November, a “proctology exam.”)
Whatever
bodily metaphor you choose, the fact remains that the election so
jolted and shocked the party that it is taking real steps to change.
And change they will! As soon as they figure out how.
While
Republicans in Virginia and other battleground states launched an
effort this week to alter electoral college rules so that votes are
doled out proportionately–which would likely give the GOP at least a
short term edge–GOP leaders here discussed their party’s own
shortcomings and sought areas of internal improvement.
Almost
every conversation in the bar of the Charlotte Westin Hotel this week
involved a discussion about what the party must do to win the next
elections. Floating through the air is a desire to re-capture glorious
days of the past, a challenge made difficult by a country that refuses
to stand still. Demographics are changing, minorities are growing in
political influence and views on social issues like gay marriage are
drifting rapidly leftward. Something’s got to give.

The only answer is to effectively answer them and start throwing it

realize that they are in one.

Colin Powell Slams ‘Idiot Presentations’ by Some Republicans, Urges GOP Leaders to ‘Speak Out’
In
an interview with ABC’s Diane Sawyer and George Stephanopoulos during
ABC’s special inauguration day coverage this morning, former Secretary
of State Colin Powell lashed out at people in the Republican Party who
spent the last four years spreading “birther nonsense” and other “things
that demonize the president,” calling on GOP leaders to denounce such
talk — publicly.
“Republicans have to stop buying into things
that demonize the president. I mean, why aren’t Republican leaders
shouting out about all this birther nonsense and all these other things?
They should speak out. This is the kind of intolerance that I’ve been
talking about where these idiot presentations continue to be made and
you don’t see the senior leadership of the party say, ‘No, that’s
wrong.’ In fact, sometimes by not speaking out, they’re encouraging it.
And the base keeps buying the stuff.
“And it’s killing the base
of the party. I mean, 26 percent favorability rating for the party right
now. It ought to be telling them something. So, instead of attacking me
or whoever speaks like I do, look in the mirror and realize, ‘How are
we going to win the next election?”

Colin Powell looked into himself and asked: “m I American or Black?”
He not only decided that question needed to be asked (it doesn’t) he
answered in the latter when he voted and now speacks 100% based on the
latter.
Shut up Colin, you damn racist.

NEWINGTON — A PTO mom who said she rediscovered God, conquered a crack
cocaine addiction and pursued her dream of working with children was
arrested Monday after she allegedly brandished a handgun at Chuck E.
Cheese’s.
According to police, Tawana Bourne argued with another woman at the
children’s restaurant on the Berlin Turnpike. Both women had children
with them.
“During this argument, Bourne allegedly brandished a .380 semiautomatic
handgun and chambered a round,” police stated in a press release. She
had a valid permit for the gun, they said.
Staff members called police and Bourne was charged with three counts of
risk of injury to a minor and one count each of second-degree
threatening and first-degree reckless endangerment. She posted $50,000
bail and is scheduled to appear in Superior Court in New Britain on Feb.
19.
“I’m a very good person,” Bourne said Tuesday. “Very, very involved in the community.”
You can’t go a week without a riot, robber, assault and now this.

Do they actually use “ghetto rats” and similar while still saying their dream of the RNC isn’t racist? I’m really confused as to why they can’t make the minorities feel the love…
Yes, but the more genteel Freeperati refer to “Holder’s people”.

Yes, the Democrats committed massive fraud by: a) turning out to vote; and b) letting the entire GOP convince themselves that the Democrats were to discouraged to turn out. But it is Rove’s fault that he did not foresee such vile tactics.

Shorter Colin Powell: “Thanks, folks! I’ll be here all week. Try the veal.”
He seems mystified about why Republican leaders aren’t denouncing the stupidity of the birthers or the other conspiracy theorists in their party. I’ll try to explain it all for Mr. Powell (and type slowly, because he may not read very fast): It’s because (1) nobody in the popular media will ask Republican leaders about whether or not they should sign on to the birther nonsense; and (b) the leaders of the GOP don’t dare cross their base. Losing election after election by getting 47% of the vote may be bad, but it’s worse (in what passes for the Republican mind) to lose those elections while garnering less than 40% of the vote.
Does that make it clearer?

As for Rove rant, listen to the video in the link and try to tell me that redistricting isn’t just an exercise in gerrymandering. (Yes, the prez election is state wide, but the way they have each county finely divided is exactly what they need to plan gerrymandered districts – and by extension the attempt to split the electoral vote by district to gerrymander the prez election.)!
And for a fun time, I went back and did a web search and pulled up all sorts of news articles from the months before the election to read all the pundits talk of dem oversampling, etc. Their belief in their own sophistication is so cute
I looked up Newington, CT and the town is 92% white and has a median family income over $67,000. Not exactly a ghetto. And how is what she did different than these jackasses bringing AR’s to Obama rallies? I don’t support the legality of either, but given the Freeperati’s penchant for self-reliance, non-government intervention, what makes this scenario different? Let’s see… Type of handgun? Well, a .380 is a shitty choice but I don’t think that is it. Chuck E. Cheese? Can’t be it, they love fictional characters too much. Just can’t put my finger on it. Blacking out on a reason. Wy would they have a problem? Mind is drawing a black. Hmmm. What is the reason? I guess we don’t have enough color of the situation to understand.
