Once again, I turn political advisor

It’s kind of sad watching the mess that the Republican’s are making of themselves here. Just when they had pulled some traction with criticizing the Obama administration giving bail outs to the banks and auto industry (and hey, giving money to rich people is a Republican’s job, buddy), they go and blow it with 2 sex scandals in a week. And you know they RNC’s first response was “Thank God it’s with women.” At least with the guy in Nevada, he seems to be able to take the cover provided by Michael and Farrah (and Ed and Billy and Fred – weird) and slink off the radar. But Sanford seems to be such a dumbass that he can’t stop the sleaze flood. Revelation after revelation.

The Republicans are in the exact same nasty spot the Democrats were in a decade ago. Trying to be all things to all people, and sucking at 90% of them. To get market share they’re trying to broaden the brand. They want to be the party of the heartland and big business and the Christian right and the NRA and small government and big military and Pro-Life and law and order. Tent’s too big there, kids. You’re going to need to stop sucking up to someone. The Christian right would be my first choice. Because you’re politicians, and you suck at at least 5 of the 10 Commandments (see above), and it just looks a little hypocritical, you know? Besides, what are they going to do? Turn Libertarian? I think not.

But, I’m an independent, so what do I know? Y’all do what you think is best. I’d get on the stick, though. Otherwise you’re going to spend 8 years wandering in the political wilderness the way the Dems did after Clinton.
