Grand Sorry Old Party

RepubliCONS just keep eating their own. RNC chairman Michael Steele recently stepped into another fiasco when he asserted that Mitt Romney lost the GOP nomination because of the intolerance of the party's base members toward Romeny's Mormon faith.




Highlighting this intolerance, Steele offered he regrets the way his comments have been interpreted. Really? Steele is sorry about how his comments were interpreted, rather than their offensive implications.

And the GOP wonders why a shrinking number of people identify themselves as part of the party. Good luck CONS.

GOP's Haunting Specter

The republiCON party lost another Senator today. Pennsylvania Senator Arlene Specter, who has represented this state for the GOP for five terms will now join the Democrats.

RepubliCON party Chairman Michael Steele basically said good riddens to the former loyal GOP foot solider stating the Senator Specter was likely to lose the GOP primary because of his voting record.

Others however point to the GOP's strident rhetoric and intolerance as forcing out of the party more moderate voices like Specter. Senator Specter's defection reveals the GOP big tent claims as less bigtop and more of pup tent.

It appears the GOP is now doing to itself what it did to the country for the last eight years. It couldn't happen to a more deserving party.

Sarah Failin Fast!

Back in January, the Progressive Post made a series of predictions for 2009. Our number 6 prediction is that the Con's love affair with Sarah Palin would sour. It seems this prediction is coming to pass. Must be hard for team Palin to see themselves pushed off the national stage by someone who hasn't held national office in nearly ten years. This latest gaffe says alot about Palin's stumbling attempts to grab the GOP mantle, as well as the continued lack of leadership in the republiCON party. teehee.

Fred Knows Failure

Former Senator Fred Thompson says he wants President Obama's policies to fail. Putting aside the fact that if his policies fail, it likely means additional tough economic times for the country, Fred's pronouncement has got to have President Obama worried.

Because if anyone knows about failed political efforts (see here and here), its Fred.

Poor ANNual Sales

Finally some good economic news!

It's going to be a long fight

Fox News reports there is a fight brewing within the GOP over the soul of the party. This battle will likely take some time since they first will have to find it.

This makes it unanimous!

Cheney furious with Bush.
