Why Republicans are Retarded: They realize they suck, but not why.

At this point, republicans realize that they suck. Top republicans admitted it to Jonathan Martin, who wrote about it on his blog. Apparently the are going to have a super secret meeting where they’ll all get together to plot the further destruction of America the future of their party. The goal will be to fashion a “national grassroots political and policy coalition similar to the out Reagan years[]“.

There’s nothing wrong with that. The republican’s are reeling, and they need to bounce back. So how should they accomplish their resurgence? They say, and I agree, that they need to return to “conservative principles” that they abandoned under the Bush years. Martin’s source correctly states that “[t]here’s a sense that the Republican Party is broken, but the conservative movement is not[]“.

I really think this statement is true. Look at the support Ron Paul has garnered as he has railed against Bush, who has been the biggest spending, socialistic President in our history. However, Ron Paul is not the guy to lead the republicans back to the promised land. Even though he talks like a real conservative, he’s old and nutty. They need a fresh face that is going to represent a return to intellectual conservative thought, rather than the kind of idealistic, theocratic, demagogue we’ve dealt with over the last eight years right? Kind of like Romney but less Mormony. Or Fred Thompson but less Foghorn Leghorn. Kind of like Giuliani but in a less cross-dressing, liberal, fear mongering way.

No. Here is what they come up with instead: “Should McCain lose next Tuesday, the conversation will include who to groom as the next generation of conservative leaders – a list that will feature Palin at or near the top.”

Republicans, are you fucking kidding me? Palin? This idiot is MORE divisive than Bush. I didn’t think that would be possible but it is. Just look at the polling. People HATE her. Conservatives too, in case you haven’t noticed.

Republicans, if you lose on Tuesday, its very apparent that Palin is going to be one of the main reasons why. She’s a drag on your ticket. She’s chased conservatives away. Lots of them are voting for Obama and/or abandoning McCain BECAUSE OF HER! You guys really need get your act together, because right now you’re just digging yourselves a deeper hole. Ditch this lady now if you want to live. Find someone qualified, who stands for your principles, not more divisive, fear mongering, race baiting, demogougery.

And it can be a woman. It really can. Don’t try to say, like Joe the Scarborough did this morning that the media is just sexist, by comparing the treatment Palin gets to the treatment Hillary got. Don’t say, like Palin did when she learned from a cup that Madeline Albright said women should help other women (which Palin doesn’t, see e.g., rape kits, charging for), that its sexist not to support women. Now, I don’t think the media was sexist against Hillary, but even if it was, she is emminently more qualified than Palin. And so the sexism charge makes more sense when leveled against someone competent. Palin deserves the treatment she is getting. The only people left who like her are the ones who want to fuck her like Rich Lowry or Bill Kristol. Take it from people within the McCain campaign who have had this to say:

Republicans, don’t you want someone smart? Someone capable? Someone accomplished? Look, its not like I’m tripping over myself trying to look after your best interests. I’m just terrified that you’ll keep on choosing morons who appeal to base paranoia and hatred to represent you and that one day one of those morons will actually win. Its a nightmare. Can’t you find any more George Bush Sr.s (man, I never thought I’d miss him)?
