Yeeeah. I don’t even know what to say, except: fuck Middle America. And Wal-Mart soccer moms. And that guy who thinks Bush should be president because he “seems personable".

You are alienating the base of the party because you sound like Republicans. It’s time to sweep out the old party leadership, and get some fresh blood in there. The existing leadership looks like a bunch of wimps. Now the party has lost everything, what do we have to lose? Let’s be fighters, for God sakes, grow some balls! Take advantage of the republicans being the new party of religion, and concede those 20 million voters for the vast pool that’s out there now. Or point out to the religious that the Republicans do more to destroy family values by forcing 2 income households to be the standard, leading to unsupervised teens, …
