Who Leads Republicans? Apparently They Don’t Know Either
USAToday covers a Gallup poll in which Americans were asked who speaks for the GOP. A majority of Americans couldn’t name anyone.
A 52% majority of those surveyed couldn’t come up with a name when asked to specify “the main person” who speaks for Republicans today. Of those who could, the top response was [...]
Tone Deaf or Payoff?
There are rumors swirling around the Delaware Republican Party that they have a new communication team. This is the team that will be tasked with redefining the tarnished brand that is “Republican” and to reframe the debate into something that will resonate with Delaware voters. Quite a task.
Who is up for a job like that? [...]
Gallup: Republicans Are Tanking
There are new poll results out from Gallup about partisan identification, and it’s not good news for Republicans.
The decline in Republican Party affiliation among Americans in recent years is well documented, but a Gallup analysis now shows that this movement away from the GOP has occurred among nearly every major demographic subgroup. Since the first [...]

Obviously Words Matter
There’s been a lot of talk over taking people at their word, and when it comes to words no one is better at hijacking them then Conservatives. Patriot springs to mind, as does family values, life, Judeo-Christian laws, regiment, battle, defense of marriage, and take back America. Let’s just say when I stumble on a [...]

The Incredible Shrinking Republican Woman
Seems like a no-brainer to me, especially given what you see on display at nearly every Republican event/press conference/news show. Lot’s of old white guys. Where are the Republican women?
Of course, there are fewer Republicans than Democrats of either gender in the two houses. But even on a percentage basis, Republicans suffer a gender gap. [...]
Fatal Attraction – Republican Style
Rule #1 when having an affair is to never let the wife find out about the mistress. Silly, because it rarely works out that way – especially if your mistress is a crazy person intent on destroying your marriage. That said, shame on you for juggling love interests, and shame on you for whispering sweet, [...]

The Governor Of Utah (Yes, Utah!) Fails Conservative Litmus Test
Via John Cole:
Gov. Jon Huntsman Jr.’s appearance at a Michigan county Republican Party event was scrapped this week after the county chairwoman said that hosting the moderate Utah governor would mean abandoning the party’s conservative principles.
Kent County Republican Party Chairwoman Joanne Voorhees abruptly canceled the party fundraiser scheduled for Saturday.

I’ve said It Before… Let Them Filibuster
Via Think Progress:
A reliable Justice Department source advises me that Senate Republicans are planning to “go nuclear” over the nominations of Dawn Johnsen as chief of the Office of Legal Counsel in the Department of Justice and Yale Law School Dean Harold Koh as State Department legal counsel if the torture documents are made public.

Will Republican Leaders Listen To Republicans
Greg Sargent points out the trend. Republicans aren’t happy with their Republican leaders.
The approval rating of GOP leaders among Republicans has plummeted 12 points in a month, down from 55% in February to a minority of 43% now. That’s striking.
Not only that, but approval of GOP leaders overall has dropped to 28% overall — the [...]
The 5 Stages.
With many conservatives resorting to treason in forming sleeper cells and advocating violence against the federal government, it occurred to me that Republicans have finally entered the second stage of the greiving process: that of anger.
The stages are:
1. Denial (“I feel fine.”; “This can’t be happening, not to me!)
2. Anger (“Why me? It’s not [...]
