They have found the Learning Curve. Won't do them much good though, just finding the Curve won't do much, and I don't think they are capable of actually learning while they have the "leadership" they do.

Grassley, Boehner, Steele, Palin, Armey, Gingrich, Cantor, Bachmann...these people, (and others), have placed the GOP in such a precarious position, it is difficult to comprehend how they can get out of the burning building.

To be sure, we have our boneheads as well, but not in the #'s the GOP has them.

My take is that people are going to see that the end of civilization is not in the hands of the D's, but rather the R's. The GOP is so anti-citizen is amazing they exist as a viable entity at all. D's are getting things done, not to the extgent I'd like to see, but the GOP platform is to move backward at amazing speed, no one is going to win with a strategy like that; the losses to the GOP in the mid-term will be incredible...how can one possibly campaign on "No", without a counterpoint that is even close to valid. All they have is "No", and the incredibly stupid position of telling people that the bush years, or Reagan years for that matter, were somehow "good". Even brain dead conservatives will see that is absurd.

These days the MSM is playing the R card, this is to our benefit. As long as they say "disaster will befall the D's in the mid-term"...the more convinced I am that we will actually gain. The vast majority of citizens are beginning to get some relief from the oppressive past few years, bush is seen as a pariah, his policies have been a disaster. The GOP wishes to return to that insanity...if they fight the president on the SC nomination, they will sign their own Death Warrant.
