Oh snap!

Just when the GOP didn't think that they could sink any lower...

RAHM: RUSH IS THE VOICE, ENERGY AND INTELLECT OF THE GOP. "Whenever A Republican Criticizes Him, They Have To Run Back And Apologize To Him And Say They Were Misunderstood"
(HuffPo headline)

Also:
The Governor I love to hate just made sense... Whoa!

Huntsman thinks the party's challenge is more profound, owing less to its excessive spending practices during the Bush era than to sweeping demographic and political changes that threaten to consign
Republicans to a long-term minority status and confine their appeal to narrow sections of the country.

The party needs to be more intellectually rigorous, and to compete for the votes of the young, the elites and minorities, he said in an interview with POLITICO. To do so, the GOP needs to tack toward the middle on environment, gay rights and immigration. And, yes, Ronald Reagan is to be admired – but as much for his oft-overlooked pragmatism as for his conservative principles.

Meanwhile Grandma Palin has decided that CONTROLLING your children is the answer:

Palin Backs Parental Consent Abortion Bill

Problems with this from her abound. She can't control her own daughter well enough to get her to practice abstinence and imagine her surprise when she pops in on Bristol only to find her shooting the breeze with Greta Van Buttkisser from Foxpublican News telling her that abstinence is an unrealistic expectation from teens. I'm guessing when the younger Palin girls are faced with the option of sex, they are going to be thinking long and hard about how many kids they've already raised for the Palin chicks that love to love (and I also hear that they love variety!) The problem with parents deciding whether or not their child can have an abortion is that they can be forcing their child to bear a child out of incest. Also food for thought: Cindy Anthony went postal when her daughter Casey mentioned aborting her unwanted pregnancy. I wonder if Cindy would make that same choice now.. Abortion vs. her daughter murdering her granddaughter.
Free agency isn't just a Mormon idea ya know.
So... I'm thinking that the GOP has two viable choices for 2012: Limbaugh/Palin OR Huntsman/Romney (only Romney should get a sex change to appear more relevant and openminded. Mitzy Romney 2012. Cool!
