Signs of a GOP apocalypse?
After a shellacking in the national elections Republicans are frantically huddling to come up with a new direction to reach out to young and minority voters without driving the far-right Christian wingnuts to form their own party. But that new direction, driven by the likes of Gov. Jon Huntsman and Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, may have to wait until a few scores are settled — which could take eight years.• Squirrel-eatin', geetar-playin' Mike Huckabee trashes presidential rival Mitt Romney in his new book. Huckabee writes that Mitt was . . .
. . . anything but conservative until he changed the light bulbs in his chandelier in time to run for president.• Soon to be ex-congressman and regular slob Chris Cannon is snubbing his replacement Jason Chaffetz who whupped Cannon in a primary. Jason laments:
I have not met with Mr. Cannon. I've reached out at least a dozen times. So far, no luck.(I love that passive-aggressive cheap shot: "Mr. Cannon.")
• Incomprehensibly, former Gov. Mike Leavitt, who is George Bush's secretary of Health and Human Services, is in the running for chairman of the Republican National Committee. But is a proven Bush hack what a GOP of "new ideas" needs to lead the overhaul? The Republicans would be better off cutting Leavitt loose to sink into obscurity, selling insurance in Cedar City while he teaches politics parttime at Southern Utah University.

Amen to Leavitt going back to selling insurance in Cedar City. Maybe it would bring him back to reality. What did Hatch do before? Maybe he ought to do it again. It's time for our party to get back to the middle, somewhat. The party was hijacked by the Rush/Rove/Chenney bunch. We need it bring back to more civil times. Good debate on issues without the lies and half-truths.
Huckabee's not a conservative either. He champions big government like a democrat.
For the Huckabee crowd, the only conservatism that really matters is social conservatism (abortion, gays, guns, god).
Best Picture EVER! Sure to bring the LOLs!
Huckabee, McCain, Bush and the likes are history.....the way they legislate, they may as well be Democrats? ....we need new leadership, new blood.....one that legislates small govt, lower taxes, strong economy, working americans, and securing our borders!
