Face The Nation: Republicans Discuss The Future Of Their Party Following Election Losses

[nikosk11]

I''ll tell you what happened to the GOP:

They are a bunch of sorry a$$ loosers who will blame everyone else but themselves. Hypocrites all and the American people can finally see through them.
Here is a small example: they [GOP] talking of "family values" so, here comes moos-hunting mama with her pregnant, unmarried daughter on stage and the republicans cheered her like a star was born. Now let''s put the foot in the other shoe and prettend thet Michelle O was in that picture. Well.....I''ll let you finish the rest of the thought!!!!!!

Don''t get too mesmerized by Bobby Jindal. Just ask we the people of Louisiana. When the LA State Legislators gave themselves huge raises that made them the highest paid in the U.S., Jindal stood by and let them rape the LA taxpayers. It wasn''t until Recall Petitions were circulated to remove Jindal from office that he finally stepped forward (with his back to the wall) to veto the raises.

I guess I remember that I am a little incorrect.
Some of those guys did serve light minimum "fun" security prison sentences.

Charles Colson was the only one that went to a regular prison.

Governor Jindal offered good ideas!

Kassandras,

Below is an interesting comment you made showing that you know nothing about the historical facts. You must be a youngster.

Here''s an easy one. Name just one of the Watergate conspirators. Just one...there were quite a few and they were jailed for their part in the Watergate conspiracy. Come on, you can do it, if you eat your wheaties.

There was really only one that was jailed for their part in the Watergate conspiracy, and that is the one who became a Born Again Christian right before they went to prison, Charles Colson. Ehrlichman, Haldeman, Mitchell all got away with it.

No kidding! The GOP is out of good ideas, and they don''t have any intellectual leaders. Palin is a hollow showpiece. Gingrich implies that she got treated badly by the press, but she''s the one who answered the questions. The press can''t help it if she''s a shallow hypocrite.

"Hey AlabasterButtCheeksBrian, is this your way, now that your neo-messiah has been elected, of openly admitting that he isn''''''''t a Christian??

Never was?? It was all a lie just as most of us real American suspected??

There is nothing Christian about you and you are the only one calling him a Messiah...as you do with Reagan.

The Republican Party was hijacked by crackpot fundamentalists some time ago. As long as it continues to allow these extremists to rule the platform, it will suffer from the lack of rational support. The basic appeal of the Republican Party is less government intrusion into the lives of citizens.
That appeal is completely lost under present influence of fundamentalists whose desire is to control people''s personal lives. Who would have believed that one of the primary goals of the Republican Party is to keep their noses up womens vaginas? Barry Goldwater warned against letting these crackpots into the party but the warning wasn''t heeded.

[briannorwood]

After years of demonizing the "radical left" as dangerous, the GOP suddenly comes to the realization that most Americans view the "Evangelical Right" as the real radicals.

Until they boot this extremist element from their ranks, the GOP will find itself in a permanent minority!

Cheney has no soul
Bush has no brain and
Rove has no heart....

"So you do not see [Palin] as the de facto leader of the party at this point?" Schieffer asked.

"No," said Gingrich. "She''s a wonderfully, intelligent, aggressive hardworking person who got, you know, hammered very badly by the press in, I think, fairly distorted ways.

THERE YOU HAVE IT! The GOP will not admit when they''ve made a mistake. Sarah Palin is not more qualified to be President of the United States than I am. She''s uninformed and too narrow in her focus when it comes to trying to help people.

Note to Newt: the old ways ain''t workin'' any more, Pardner. Keep on going down this path and your beloved GOP be on the floor looking up again in 2010.

Gingrich said:""And in each case, I watched us, within a short time, focus on new ideas and new solutions and, within a very short time, come back as a stronger and healthier party."

His new solutions and ideas can be summed up in two words: Fear and Loathing. Fear of that imminent terrorist attack that only Republicans can prevent; Loathing of Homosexuals and their plan to destroy the American family; loathing of women who must make tragic decisions, (Republicans want to give the abortion business back to the criminals that held their clinics in back allies with tools discarded from dry cleaners back in the days before Roe v Wade) and the kind of Financial leadership that keeps the rich,rich and the poor,poor. After all, that is their constituency; the few who benefit, and the ones who are too hungry to think beyond flag waving rhetoric.
I''m sure that any Republican reading this will wave off all the comments as "Liberal Media Bullcrap", because, as we all know, only super left winger treehugger homos pay any attention to CBS, anyway.

Jindal: Something Is Wrong With The GOP

yeah there is something wrong its called the republicans!

[amrt5016]

"Number three, we have got to be the party that offers real solutions to the problems that American voters, American families are worried about."

And you think you can still do that while catering to a constituency that hasn''t reconciled to the fact that the earth is more than 6,000 years old? I doubt it.

[jimsusancan]

Boy my spelling is low intelligent also.
I meant to refer to the post of "OBAMASLADY".

[jimsusancan]

"BamasaLady" got it exactly right. Good for you I could not have said it better. Yes you have to wonder what these GOP leaders were listening to during and after the election campaign. Golly they just don''t want to state the obvious that she comes across as a very low intelligence person.

[perk235]

well obama will give the likes of osama a clear road to attacking this country..the last time we had a radical liberal in office during this kinds of time..terrorism was re-invented

When was the last time we had a Republican White House, Senate and House? Right before the Great Depression I.

What kind of threat do you think this financial meltdown is to the national security of this country? DEREGULATION of risky bets (derivatives) is the root of this meltdown and it is risking our way of life as well as ability to fund our military.

YA THINK?

Aside from being incompetent, greedy, corrupt, sneaky, lying bastardds, what us the problem?

[perk235]

Shelby, however, said that a bailout of the auto industry would be "the wrong road to go down right now," and said he would prefer troubled automakers file for bankruptcy rather than get taxpayers'' money.
--------------
Bush bailed out the airlines ($15 billion) directly after 9/11 with the surplus he inherited.

It''s not like particular industries haven''t been bailed out before.

"She''s a wonderfully, intelligent, aggressive hardworking person who got, you know, hammered very badly by the press in, I think, fairly distorted ways." Gingrich stated, and he must not have been listening to her at all during the campaign. She completely LACKS GENERAL KNOWLEDGE, be it current or historical, in civics and geography [most high school students have more knowledge than she demonstrated] and she lacks INTELLECT. I will give her credit for being able to MEMORIZE TALKING POINTS and being able to RECITE THEM BY ROTE, but that won''t help her one little bit in the national arena. She is certainly aggressive, but that is only to obtain the ''greed and personal power'' she desires, but again, that will not help her.

The press did not hammer her in asking questions so the electorate could learn more about her personally as well as her political credentials or distort her capabilities. The questions were not difficult or "gotcha" questions, but rather questions that any political figure would be asked. For Gingrich to make that statement is ridiculous. He has always ''covered'' or made excuses for the GOP and certain pols in it!

One could consider that Jindal would most definitely be a leader for the GOP because at least he recognizes that there really is somethng very wrong with his Party and as he will works to define what it is, he will also produce a better Party.
