Newly elected Republican National Committee Chairman Michael S. Steele plans an “off the hook” public relations offensive to attract younger voters, especially blacks and Hispanics, by applying the party's principles to “urban-suburban hip-hop settings.”

This guy is off his gourd, of course. But to generalize from that to the fifty million members of the party?

I'm just sayin', the dudes running the party have apparently taken their catastrophic defeat as a chance to fall totally off their gourd. Whatever makes 2012 easier for Obama!

I'm just saying, don't say "This is what [somethings] actually believe" unless, y'know, it really is. It's kind of a pet peeve of mine.

How did David Cross put it?  "I'm not saying all Republicans are racist, sexist homophobes, just the people they choose to elect into office to represent them are."

Do you understand how terrifying the words “vibrating strap on” are for an asexual? That’s like saying “the holocaust” to a Jew.

Allow me to attempt to clarify:

THIS IS WHAT THE PEOPLE AT THE TOP ECHELONS OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY WHO WILL NEVER RELINQUISH POWER TO THOSE WHO KNOW BETTER ACTUALLY BELIEVE

He wasn't?

Right, which brings us back to the point of the thread: the Republican Party is currently run by crazy people, and someone is probably going to have to do something about that if they want to start winning elections again.

And why we on the radical left have a dilemma.  We don't want them to win elections, but we don't want the other party of our sadly two-party system to be a bunch of neonazis and klansmen either.

Well the first step is to get over that "we don't want them to win elections" block.  If you want to be a true liberal, you have to be open-minded enough to realize a sane conservative has some valid points.

Of course one of the mistakes our current liberals make is that they believe that the insane conservatives can make valid points too.

No, you don't, and no, they don't.

You really may as well replace 'liberal' with 'person.'

The team-minded mindset, in my mind, is the thing holding this country back the most.  It's a very frustrating thing to see the elected officials on either side turning down ideas they can admit are good and positive and what their constituents want because it is against their party line.

When I was doing Obama canvassing during the campaign, one day was about encouraging people to early vote, to give them basic information about how it's done, and where and when early voting took place.

We were then told not to let any McCain supporters know about early voting because it needed to be an Obama advantage.  It was sickening; I was very disappointed with the idea that Obama would win based on his policy and the strength of his character was rejected by his campaign team in the area.  It felt very Republican to try to win an election by denying information to the other side.  I obviously didn't stick to such a ridiculous GO TEAM policy and gave the information on voting to everyone, but I can guarantee that of the nine duos that day, ours is the only one that did so, and it's a huge problem to me.

Pure partisanship is nasty, but our system of government basically necessitates it. Until we move to a system where a spectrum of positions can get representation, you pretty much have to choose the side you think is closest to your own ideals and go for it, or throw your hands up in disgust.

:whoops: Your local campaign head must've been a real winner.

Ours couldn't wrap the concept of school football games not being partisan events around her thick head. She was aghast when the administrators wouldn't let her just scream into a megaphone to Vote 'Bama.

The campaign was successful due to the candidate and upper-tier management. Not an empowering fact, but absolutely the case.
