You know how in Scrabble sometimes you look at your seven letters and you’ve got only vowels that spell nothing? What do you do? You go back to the pile. You throw your letters back and hope to pick up better ones to work with. That’s what Republican primary voters seem to be doing. They just keep going back to the pile but still coming up with only vowels that spell nothing.

OMG!!! That is so funny.

"when all the Republican candidates said last year that they would not accept a deal with Democrats that involved even $1 in tax increases in return for $10 of spending cuts, the G.O.P. cut itself off from reality. It became a radical party, not a conservative party" - Exactly!!!

It would be great for the country if there was a coherent 2nd
party, as the GOP has been reduced a sack of individuals ..

"captive of conflicting ideological bases: anti-abortion advocates,
anti-immigration activists, social conservatives worried about the
sanctity of marriage, libertarians who want to shrink government,
and anti-tax advocates who want to drown government in a bathtub.

"Sorry, but you can’t address the great challenges America
faces today with that incoherent mix of hardened positions."

"Until the G.O.P. stops being radical and returns to being conservative, it won’t provide what the country needs most
now — competition — competition with Democrats on the issues that will determine whether we thrive
in the 21st century. We need to hear conservative fiscal policies, energy policies, immigration
policies and public-private partnership concepts — not radical ones. Would somebody
please restore our second party? The country is starved for a grown-up debate."
