no, you cannot have an abortion. big banks, bill wall street bailouts. our message was weak. we have to stop dumbing down our ideas. we used to be the party that understood personal connections. we weren t inclusive. a number of republicans damaged the brand with bizarre comments. stupid comments, offensive comments. they look down on minorities. we must not be the party that simply protects the well off so they can keep their toys. holy self-loathing, batman. it s a bit too much. we get the point. they think they are not very good. the question is what s the path going to be going forward? it s not clear yet. it s five months. it s time to get going now. that s what you hear from rush limbaugh. quit the self-loathing and do concrete things to change the party. i think they will have time to do that in the next couple weeks as they get to budget and redefine the party.
