"That's not much of a platform."

Well duh!

What is a Republican These Days?

Erick Erickson: "The problem for those who call themselves Republicans is that it is harder and harder to say exactly what a Republican is these days. The great lesson from Mississippi is that Republican means, more or less, that if elected the party will reward its major donors, who are just different than the Democrats' major donors. Policy differences are about different donors, not an actual agenda to shift the country in a different direction."

"I continue to oppose a third party. I'm just not sure what the Republican Party really stands for any more other than telling Obama no and telling our own corporate interests yes. That's not much of a platform."

I would have thought that to be an impossibility. Yet I do agree with him in this one instance. Republicans have nothing... Nothing but NO
