Republicans Begin to Question the Competence of Their Leadership

If there is anything that the Republicans hate, it's losing. And when it came to the health care bill...Republicans lost big.

They had bet all the marbles on stopping health care reform cold and then convincing voters next fall that Obama's Democrats couldn't deliver. They were practically putting together the TV commercials: "Obama's Democrats promise change and deliver nothing..." "Democrats are all talk and no action..." "Even with big majorities in the House and Senate, Democrats couldn't convince Congress to support Obamacare." To their credit, they knew that if they stopped health care reform, they would cripple Obama's ability to pass anything in his program. But their strategy turned out to be a disaster.

The captains of the Republican ship -- Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, House Minority Leader John Boehner, and the feckless Republican Chairman Michael Steele -- ran the Republican ship right into the rocks. Is it any wonder that the crew is beginning to mutter about mutiny?

the "would be late to their own funeral" crowd.

They are the leaders and those under them are questioning their failed plan. I don't blame them either. The Pubs really are very good at keeping all their ducks in a row, but the row fell off the cliff and now the little ducks are not so sure they will continue to follow!

that a lot of looking for unemployment at older ages. The Repukes have lost their elder base they kept in the well with fear of 'socialism'. Never did they think their mouthpiece heads would get caught buying unicorns and dildos with their hard earned tax dollar. :rofl:

or unicorn dildos... :D
