Short term strategy for the Republicans is to oppose Susan Rice,
in hope that John Kerry will be nominated and appointed. Then Massachusetts gets to appoint the replacement Senator. And who do you suppose that might that be, with the initials JPB.? ETA: I find it a bit more than odd that Republicans who destroyed Kerry's reputation when he was running for the Presidency, are now campaigning for his nomination as Sec of State. |
Shameless tailposting:
Christie 2016. If the Repub powerbrokers have even half a brain between them, but that's a big if. |
He refused to put himself forward last time. I think he knew the republican party as a whole is too wingnutty at the moment. Right now he is not enough to swing that back. He wouldn't increase their credibility, they would strip him of his.

good observation Dana.
*** President Obama made good on his election night promise to meet with Mitt Romney. Today the two of them had lunch at the White House. Big deal. Mr Romney doesn't really have any political friends at the moment it seems. It would also seem that he has a *ahem* wealth of disappointed donors. Regardless, the President showed his class by keeping his promise. This wasn't good enough for the right wingnut talk radio fomentors. The lunch was private, no media, but the menu was released. White turkey chili and southwestern chicken salad. The hosts on the radio covered themselves in glory by insisting that Obama was humiliating his guest by insinuating he, Romney, was a white turkey. Several such childish remarks by hosts and guests alike were sprinkled through the conversations today. They're... disconnected from reality. |
I heard some what I assume you'd consider "the right wingnut talk radio "
They had nothing bad to say about it at all. |
If you like, I'll start keeping a log. the show, the host, and the time of such statements. Today, Michael Medved was the one who first gave that description. Others talked about how Obama was rubbing his nose in it, since he had to walk past the construction for the inauguration.

No thanks. I'd rather you mention them specifically, instead of painting them all with that broad brush.
Not that my opinion means much. OTOH, maybe the radio at the Dr's office wasn't wingnutty enough to qualify. |
Remember it's the wingnuttiness rather than the right wing element that is being pointed to. I daresay there are a fair few decent rightwing commentators around.
|
I guess I'm lucky in that there are a couple local people here who aren't wingnuts. Heck, one radio show is totally liberal and is a stark contrast to some of the alternatives.

The future of the Republican Party will not include, at least in the official player rosters, the name of Senator Jim DeMint, R, South Carolina.

From the snip quoted above : "The fever swamps of the Republican base" - I like that. The GOP is retreating further into the South as if persued by Sherman's March to the Sea. Republican members of Congress with constituencies from the North East and other regions which have escaped the tea party strangle hold are becoming more and more frustrated with a party held ransom by its lunatic fringe.
I don't see tea party members backing off until Obama leaves the White House. They're enraged that a black man has won the presidential election not only once but twice. |
Obama's color has very little to do with the opinion of the VAST majority.
Please stop spreading that lie. What they are angry about has NOTHING to do with race. That is the opinion of the "lunatic fringe." |
I have a question for you, classic. What percentage of our country do you believe is racist to some degree or another?
