Does the GOP needs a new spokeperson? No. They already have one. Jon Voight decided himself to become the new republican guru and prophet. And he is the latest -but probably not the last - in the line preceeded by Sara Palin, Rush Limbaugh, Collin Powell, Dick Cheney, and Newt Gingrich.

The republicans were trounced so badly on the November 4, 2008 elections that they lost their identity - if they ever had one. They look for a new direction now, but they don't know which way to go. And all the ideas offered by all of the above - before Voight's yesterday- were just weak drafts in the quick shifting winds of the same republican sterile ideology. So, the only thing the republicans can do now - until they find their way out of the nowhere they are in now - is to throw everything at Baraq Obama, and hope that something will stick. For now, though, they don't seem to have anything with glue on to throw at him.

But there is a good side to Jon Voight's speech. That funraising event raised $ 15 million dollars for the republicans. That's very good chicken feed to keep the republican **** fighting going.

No new spokeperson can help the republicans now because their ideology is in tatters, and the brew of ideas offered so far by either its old school veterans or its greenfoot speakers don't seem to fit the taste and palate of the American public. Nikos Retsos, retired professor

The GOP is only interested in protecting and serving big business, they have no interest in the middle class and poor, but only to distract the middle class and poor into voting against their own economic interest to support phony social issues like abortion and gay marrigage.

Does the GOP need a spokesperson?

It needs a lot more than that!

It needs a message, reasonable stances on issues, it needs to talk about pertinent issues, it needs common sense, values, truthfulness, honesty, loyalty to America and the public instead of wealthy individuals and corporate elite,
to shed it's old (mis)leadership and idiot pundits, and
find competent, new leaders!

That's pretty much it! Will they be able to get this done
by 2010?! NO! It took them MONTHS to do a dinner party,
this type of correction is EONS above that!

I don't admire the GOP....

OK, I understand. You marvel at their conniving and guile,
as opposed to admiring them! There's a huge difference
between the two items---I'm glad you haven't been
"absorbed" by the whackos!

The GOP needs to offer answers and solutions rather than just saying NO to everything the Democrats try to do to help the country resolve it's problems.

stuart2000 - Thanks for your post, it was unusual on this forum for your thought provoking analysis with out any of the mindless ranting we normally hear from both sides. Although the daily rancor we hear everyday from the democrats and republicans is great theater, it is completely counterproductive and only enforces my view that both parties are more concerned with obtaining and retaining power (by slandering the other side) rather than attempting to find viable solutions to our varied and often complex problems.
