Meet your new ReaganRepublicans have made the only conclusion possible about their party following the electoral repudiation of an ancient war hero who ran on the “not a Negro” platform and chose as his running mate a proud religious nutjob ignoramus with a bubble of methane where her brain should be: they have decided their party keeps losing because they aren’t conservative enough.

Libtards, cast your minds back to the elections of 2000, 2002, and 2004, and your bewilderment about why people didn’t vote for Democrats. “It’s because we aren’t principled enough!” you wailed. “It’s because we’re doing all this Clintonite middle-of-the-road waffling instead of proudly standing up for mandatory gay marriage and compulsory state-funded abortions and a complete liquidation of the military!”

Set aside 2000, because who knows what was going on there. But in ’02 and ’04, people were scared and they liked Bush’s war talk so they voted Republican. Similarly, in ’06 and ’08, people were sick of Republicans and ready to put the running of government back into the hands of people who do not profess to despise government.

So naturally, over half of Republicans have decided that the extremely conservative, intellectually useless Sarah Palin can revivify the party so that they can get back to hating/running government again.

Coming off a shellacking at the polls in November, the plurality of GOP voters (43%) say their party has been too moderate over the past eight years, and 55% think it should become more like Alaska Governor Sarah Palin in the future, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey. Just 24% think failed presidential candidate John McCain is the best future model for the party, and 10% are undecided.

Only 17% of Republican voters say their party has been too conservative, and 30% say its actions and positions have been about right, with nine percent (9%) not sure.

Ha ha good luck LOZERS, you will be out of power for another generation.

the longer these dumbshits keep following Queen Rush right off the cliff of stupidity, the more irrelevant they become. you can almost hear the world whizzing right by them. i was thinking that nothing that scat-muncher* says will get him kicked off the air, but i then i realized that’s a good thing. as he alienates more & more people with even a faint sense of logic, all that’ll be left of the “true conservatives” will be the bachmann/palins of the world.

I hope they know that Alaska has medical marijuana, and decriminalization, and can only afford to screw around the way they do because of their socialism and oil deals. Haha. I am not sure what Sarah Palin’s America looks like to those people, but it’s a fake dream that will never happen. I know politics doesn’t like to exist in the real world, but that’s kind of fucking stupid. It doesn’t matter what they want anyway, Independents are most likely going to be the ones that decide the elections in all future times.

Of course, this is a survey of people who still identify as Republicans. Most of them also believe that Orlando will be hit by a meteor during the next Gay Pride Festival, that trees cause air pollution, and that our government is now in the hands of an Indonesian Muslim. It’s surprising that fewer than half thought the GOP wasn’t conservative enough, but then the surveyors probably discounted those answers that were given in tongues.

Reagan was an idiot too, mouthing empty conservative memes about eliminating corporate income tax, privatizing TVA, etc. So the voters resoundingly rejected him, right?

Palin + better handlers + more money + more time = Reagan

Palin-as-Reagan vs. Democratic incumbent + recession or inconclusive military action = eight years of Reuglicans in charge again.

Fawxer February 2, 2009 at 4:30 pm

During the Bush years, I and many progressives considered leaving the US for a more tolerant, enlightened land. There are many of these – Canada, most of Europe.

But where would the Republicans go if they can’t deal with an inclusive, intelligent, secular, forward-thinking Obama America? There is no developed country more conservative.

Therefore, given the Republican infatuation with Sarah Palin, these Republicans should be encouraged to actually MOVE to Alaska. They can take their moose guns, scary churches, and cruisy toilets. They can drill for oil all they want, deny global warming, and keep an eye on Putin for us, when he “rears his head.”

Then, we can just ignore them from a distance.

On Fox News Sunday, Michael Steele said he wants the GOP to reach out to candidates who support gay marriage and are pro-choice. Steele told Fox’s Chris Wallace that it was “important” to reach out to those voters.

So basically, they are completely out of touch with their base. I wonder which will end up being their voice going into 2012. The bigotted asshole bible thumpers or the rich bastards?

It’ll be a lot like three komodo dragons, wacked out on thorazine, mdma and crystal meth trying to eat and hump each other. It’ll be somewhat like the end of a Palahniuk novel. It’ll slightly resemble that bit in Super Mario World where you’ve got to fight the three firebreathing rhino things while on a spinning platform…

And then Obama is going to stomp a mud hole in the ass of whoever wins the nomination. Because whoever manages to seduce the wingnuts is going to have to go so far to the right that comparatively sane people will never even think about voting for them.

Jesus Christ! The contradictions. They’ll fight tooth and nail against any governance except, of course, that which is decreed by their Utopian church-state from a twisted and purpose-driven interpretation of Jeebus’ bestseller. The desecration of God’s/Godess’ dominion is of no importance because Lush Rimjob told ‘em it was a God-given right. However, the goings-on in America’s bedrooms IS a state matter and subject to it’s laws. In other words, you may kill, maim, or destroy what you want, but not fuck who you want. This is freedom!?
Since their ‘rights’ only apply to the people of their choosing ( Wonder bread ), then shouldn’t ONLY those same people be solely subject to their laws?
Why not just let ‘em have their goddamned Confederacy? Perhaps their imminent collapse will open their eyes to the farce that is their world.
