Upstate Donkey: don’t you have a home? Surely the dailykos or moveondotorg would love to have you grace their website.

There was nothing “purely political” about the ass-whoppin’ Ronald Reagan delievered to Carter and then again to Mondale. THOSE were LANDSLIDES! Reagan’s was a vision and a restoration of America to its rightful place as a beacon of freedom for ALL the world.

This vision was embraced again in 2004 when the American people elected President Bush to a second term soley on the basis of his projection of this beacon to 3rd world countries that had spent centuries in darkness. Trust me -I didn’t vote for w. in 2004 because of Medicare Part D or No Child Left Behind or any of his other political ploys.

Donkeys winning with a 52% plurality is hardly marginalzing.

BTW donkey – when are those middle class tax cuts coming?

No, the Republican Party’s basic formula of original success was a politics of division, fear and lies, first articulated by Tricky Dick and later perfected and canonized by Lee Atwater. Its success isn’t based on any actual results or confirmation that its policies and positions work, because all the evidence shows they don’t.

The Republican Party’s “original success” was purely political. It was about what wins, not about what was right and wrong.

With people like Palin and Sanford expected to carry the torch from here, the Party will increasingly become marginalized and its success limited to the most rural and least educated and diverse areas of our country.

Sanford may indeed be a “rising star” in the shambles of Lincoln’s once-great party. But if you think that means he has ANY chance of being a viable national candidate, you’re even more out of touch than your boy Howie Rich.

Gov. was just on MSNBC speaking from Miami where several governors [including Charlie Crist, Bobby Jindal, Sarah Palin, Haley Barbour, Tim Pawlenty...] are meeting to regroup from this Republican “shellacking” — as he summarized last Tuesday. Some Republicans apparently aren’t going to sit around licking their wounds. When asked what John McCain could have done differently, Gov. said he would let someone else “write John McCain’s postscript.” This Governors’ Conference in Miami is about looking forward and returning to the basic formula of the Republican Party’s original success:

limited government…individual responsibility…true freedom.

He’s a “rising star” according to MSNBC. Better coverage abroad than in our ‘fair’ city of Columbia!

He’s got no chance in 2012. First time he gets asked a question on live TV and responds with, “Uhhh, ahhhh, lemme see here, well, there’s the thing, uhhhh, ahhhh, certainly, you know, uhhhh, ahhh. Gosh, I hate it when this happens.”

A Palin/Sanford ticket would be incredibly fun to watch, but it has no chance — ZERO — of winning.

These “Republicans” need to take the cotton out of their ears and put it in their mouths. For two whole years.
