Old white men

Poll: Majority unsure who speaks for the GOP

WASHINGTON (CNN) – As the Republican Party struggles to regain its footing following the November elections, a new survey shows that a majority of adult Americans sees no clear leader for the minority political party.

Even more problematic for the GOP is that one-third of Republicans hold an unfavorable view of their party, according to the USA Today/Gallup poll.

When it comes to naming a “main person” who speaks for the GOP, 52 percent of Americans were unable to do so.

Among those who did name a speaker for the GOP, 13 percent identified conservative talk-radio host Rush Limbaugh, while 10 percent named former Vice President Dick Cheney. Arizona Sen. John McCain and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich were each named by 6 percent of Americans in the poll.

1. Wow. they really have very little going for them now.

Of course, things change. Will the "pendulum swing back" or will we evolve into a more liberal direction overall.

2. Old white men who, to a man, have demonstrated low moral character
A junkie, a war profiteer and careless hunter, a serial philanderer, another serial philanderer and all four of them do not practice democracy.

4. I think it's also noteworthy that Palin (the next Reagan) and Bush (revered leader) are not on list

How soon they forget?

Even today with Obama in charge, I think Bill Clinton or Al Gore would make the top five list of main persons who speak for the Democratic Party.
