Clueless!!!

Commentary By Ron Beasley

In Religion there are few more fanatical than the recently converted.  Well the same it would seem applies to politics.  I can't think of a better example than John Cole - X-Republican, now a Democrat. 

Last weekend John brought us this example of how brain dead the GOP "brain trust" is.

Well today he gives us a really good example explaining the Republican's real problem - they really are clueless:

....this bizarre belief that the real problem with the current GOP is marketing failure. They simply don’t seem to understand that the public did not reject their packaging and messaging, they rejected their product. Not the other way around. George Bush was nothing if not a marketing success.

In fact, an argument could be made that they have managed to sell a deeply, deeply flawed product for years, and that only their successful marketing kept them in the game. See “death tax,” and “patriot act,” and “sanctity of marriage” and the whole host of clever terms and names that they have used to get their way. Did any of you notice anything either “compassionate” or “conservative” about the previous eight years? Now granted, smarter conservatives have figured all of this out, but being smarter conservatives, they are completely shut out of the debate.
