Republicans Have Learned Bupkus From Elections

Topics: Political News and commentaries

According to Robert Novak (via Riehl World View), the Republican House members haven't yet got the message from the voters that didn't show up in the recent elections, and are re-electing mostly the same leadership that led them to minority status:

In private conversation, Republican members of Congress blame Majority Leader John Boehner and Majority Whip Roy Blunt in no small part for their midterm election debacle. Yet, either Boehner, Blunt or both are expected to be returned to their leadership posts Friday. For good reason, the GOP often is called "the stupid party."

Dan Riehl puts this in the right perspective by saying, "Stupid is as stupid does."

Dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb. They deserve minority status, and unless they change their way of doing business in Congress - the good ole boy way, they'll be in that position for a long time to come.

Update: Here's more evidence that the Republicans have learned absolutely nothing from the elections: Michael Steele has been passed up for Sen. Mel Martinez. A "squish on border security" is now the RNC chair.

And that's not all - Via Michelle Malkin, it's more thumbs down from the conservative base, not that anyone cares about them anymore. As noted at Hot Air, picking Martinez for RNC chairman is transparently aimed at appealing to pro-amnesty Hispanic voters.

The Republican party has dissed its base to the max. Voters will remember this in 08 with another "sleep out."
