AURaptor...Karl Rove explained that Republicans have respect for the authority within thier party. But he must have lied. Because Bush, Rove, and McCain have all called for unity and support for Obama's efforts. Every Republican I know is already nay saying, and criticising Obama for not having a cabinet together two months before he takes office. Plus the whole shabang still with election non-issues

First, I'm an American, and not a Republican . More conservative than Republican. So Rove was wrong, he didn't lie. He had no idea I'd ignore what a bunch of politicians in D.C. have to say. Fact is, I thought those guys were suppose to listen to US, not the other way around.

You Republicans insist on being an irrational bunch of pains in the ass. How disrespectful towards your leaders that is. You all would rather relax in the delusion that you're right as opposed to being happy.

---

First, I'll never be happy if we have a socialist in the White House. I don't give a gorram what color he/she is. Second, where's the disrespect ? All I did was suggest , rather tonge in cheekishly, that maybe Jack Ryan deserves some credit for dropping out and making the path for B.O. all that much easier. Duh.

I've asked myself if I would be behaving as disgracefully as you Republicans if McCain had won.

Would have ? Hell, the Dems were 100x's disrespectful towards W already, and that's just the Dem political LEADERS!
So, spare me the croc tears here, they're not working.

And I realized that I have my record for the last eight years that tells me I have been behaving disgracefully, but Bush deserved my criticism.

---

Oh, of course, it's ok when YOU do it, because Bush deserves it. Is that right ?

Grow the hell up, if ya can.

Yeah? you walk like a Republican, and quack like a Republican. What issues do you disagree with Bush/Rove on? I'm not doubting there may be some but my curiosity has gotten the better of me.l

McCain HAD to sell that large chunk to the party. He went for public campaign financing (probably Cindy didn't want her money frittered away on his political ambitions) - but the party was allowed to and did pay for over 50% of his campaign (and it doesn't count). Bush and Cheney and others held many private large-donor events (ten thousand dollars a plate and up) and the repubican party out-garnered the democratic party 10:1.

McCain wasn't running his campaign, Rove was.

But that was the problem, you see. They should have gone for the middle - the moderate republicans, uncommitted democrats and independents. They lost by basing their campaign on 'the base' instead of appealling to a wider demographic. They could have dropped the fringe repubicans (the ones who really, really like Palin) and picked up the middle and done much, much better. Instead they went for the fringe (a low-number demographic) and dropped the middle.

Here's some figures to go with my post:

NYTimes
A growing number of voters have (said) ... Sarah Palin ... is not qualified to be vice president, weighing down the Republican ticket in the last days of the campaign ...
All told, 59 percent of voters surveyed said Ms. Palin was not prepared for the job, up nine percentage points since the beginning of the month. Nearly a third of voters polled said the vice-presidential selection would be a major factor influencing their vote for president, and those voters broadly favor Senator Barack Obama, the Democratic nominee.
Over all, views of Ms. Palin were apparently shaped more by ideology and party than by gender. Ms. Palin was viewed as unprepared for the job by about 6 in 10 men and women alike. But 8 in 10 Democrats viewed her as unprepared, as well as more than 6 in 10 independents and 3 in 10 Republicans.


Though 7 in 10 repubicans looks like good numbers for Palin, fewer and fewer people identify themselves as repubicans:

PEW Research
In 5,566 interviews with registered voters conducted by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press during the first two months of 2008, 36% identify themselves as Democrats, and just 27% as Republicans.
The share of voters who call themselves Republicans has declined by six points since 2004, and represents, on an annualized basis, the lowest percentage of self-identified Republican voters in 16 years of polling by the Center.

You could be an asset to everyone instead of a liability even to your own party and political spectrum, if you'd only try.

And for once, that's NOT a flame, that's downright honest constructive criticism from someone who could really use a hand and sees in you that potential.
