What They Said

However, I think for one or two election cycles, it may be too late for the GOP.  The GOP has already gone the way of slogans over substance and cannot articulate their ideas in a thoughtful manner.  The GOP has also bought into the idea their voters are poorly educated and will not notice when the GOP leadership accomplishes little or nothing. They also think the conservative base will continue to vote for corrupt candidates as long as the candidates utter conservative platitudes. 

Howard Dean has spoken about the growing number of conservative Christians voting for Democratic candidates. In my opinion, for some reason, the leadership of the GOP has bought into the idea their Christian voters are a caricature of some type of weird religious zealot. Because the GOP leadership does not understand their own conservative Christian base, increasingly larger numbers of typically conservative Christians are voting Democratic. 

The Democratic candidates promote competence, ideas, and talk about why the voters should elect them. Meanwhile, the GOP candidates, having an inaccurate and distorted view of their base, make increasingly outrageous statements in an eager attempt to get their voters to the polls.

Clearly the writer has spent some time with "Disaster Tweeter" Kinder, "Hunger is a Motivator" Davis, "No Health Care for My Constituents" Ridgeway, "I'm a Racist" Schaaf, and "I'm Here for the Lobbyists" Luetkemeyer.
