I think Glenn's words are being twisted and that the truth hurts. And Glenn has said time and again that he's not a Republican. I would call him a pissed off moderate.
True conservatives (like myself) know that the GOP is in the wilderness right now. Instead of aruging that what Glenn says isn't true, conservatives who take offense to those words should take a long hard look at the GOP, it's leadership, it's message, and it's plan of action.
For grins and giggles, look at the website of the GOP http://www.gop.com/blog/Read.aspx?GUID=0105265a-f6dd-4e2f-b1c0-c8f5ecd44eac
WTF??? The new site is underway since May??? Granted there is current info on the site but this is just sloppy.
Now go look at the Dem's site. http://www.democrats.org/
I'm sorry but the other guys do a much better job at technology and reaching out to the younger generation.
This is but one of many complaints I have with my party right now. It's trivial (to some) but we have to be at the top of our game and better than the other guys at EVERYTHING in order to get our message out there and win over people.
As an intern of the GOP, what I can tell you is that we are 100% focused on the Governor's races in New Jersey and Virginia.
At the moment a little more resources are going towards the Virginia race because it is closer.
If we win both, the media will run with it. It will give us momentum for both 2010, and maybe cause a chain reaction all the way to 2012.
There are Republicans who have lost hope and are not bothering to vote anymore. We are trying to energize these voters in both states so we can be a stronger party. If we had more of these disenchanted republicans, both races would be in the bag.
We have a decent-good chance of winning both races.
My friends who have a high ranking in the party have told me Michael Steele is doing a good job as chairman. He is working low key, and 100% focused on securing these governor races.
Our biggest concern at the moment is that Jon Corzine is spreading lies about Christie not supporting mammograms. We lost women voters, atm we are at 4-3% lead, down from 7% lead. Considering NJ is a blue state, we predicted worse outcomes, and that Corzine is outspending us 3-1, we are doing a decent job.
From what I know from my superiors, Mitt Romney is going to do a big push for 2012, with support from Chris Christie (who would appoint him attorney general). Me personally, I think the religious right will never vote for a Mormon, so I don't think he has a prayer. Mitt Romney would run on his record of business credentials and the veto pen.
