re: #21 Killgore Trout

Republicans are still a party without a marketable agenda and they offer no concrete alternatives to the Democrats’ agenda. They need to work on that.

I completely agree. Even if they did come up with some brand spanking new ways to counter 0bama and the Democrats they will look like hypocrites for a long time since it is not what they themselves have done for the last 10 years.

The Republican Party is also startlingly resistant to any form of self scrutiny. When the standard response to bad results is “Well, if we ran a REAL conservative things would have been different” -without seriously looking at why the message isn’t marketable anymore, then you know we’re in trouble.
