This is exactly why we can't run a nominee who's only 25% more conservative than Hillary.

That rat looked one hell of a lot better pre-photoshop. Also note that you picked a male rat. Yuk, yuk,yuk.

She is. The "Conservative" media would rather spend 90% of it time shooting it own people in the back. The Republican Establishment cannot get it head out of it butt. And the average "Conservative" would rather pout and bitch about everything then DO anything to win.

Add those three things together and it comes up with a 2008 political disaster for the Republicans. Might as well make peace with the GOP being in the minority for the next 20 years. The Perpetual Whiners are the Right will make sure that happens.

"if we don't use everything available to us and motivate our base, the people that believe in us."

And how exactly do you motivate a base that you've ignored and abandoned? Hmmmmm?
I've said it before, and I see nothing that changes it, HRC is the next president. And no one will be happy with the result.

Of course Shrillary is beatable, given a competent GOP candidate who runs a competent campaign. As Rush said, she puts her pants on one leg at a time the same as any other guy.

I know this is like regretting the passing of the dinosaurs (i.e., they ain't coming back) but it wouldn't be such a depressing prospect if we at least had some media outlets that would do their jobs.

What a crock of total crap. The GOP views that harping beeyatch as no such thing. These MSM writers are in a circle jerk.

These Republicans are turning more idiotic by the day.

Of course this socialist, unlikeable witch known as Hitlery Rotten Clinton is beatable. If the Republicans
would have the spine to stand up for conservative principles, and articulate those principles, they, the
Republicans, could easily overcome a left wing demagogue
like madam Hillary. Go back to the core Reagan beliefs,
and stick to them, Republicans!

GOP Views Clinton As Virtually Unbeatable

Well, they're right.
It's time to replace the RINOs in the GOP with someone who believes they can beat Hillary and has the guts to do it.

As usual with these "fabricated for our DNC masters" stories, I don't see the headline or the first line in any of the quotes from the story.

Who are the people who wrote this nonsense, and which republicans are they talking about? I'm not convinced that Hillary is going to get the dim nomination, let alone win the presidency.

Anyone who poo-poos Hillary's chances (including many here on FR) will be making the same mistake we did in '92 with another Clinton. Hillary is well-financed and managed to the nth degree. The lamestream press treats her with kid gloves, and will savage any opponent she draws. There is also a strong group-identity/victim dynamic in politics today and Hillary will exploit that to the maximum, just like she did against Lazio.

Whether we want to admit it or not, most of the electorate still gets their information from "traditional" media. The lamestream press will still be a powerful force in the '08 election. The media was absolutely desperate to elect a female Speaker of the House in '06, they pulled out all the stops to get one and succeeded. Likewise, they are desperate for a female President in '08, and they will do whatever it takes to get one. If they can't have that, they'll settle for an ersatz black President in Hussein Obama. Either way, the country will be in a world of hurt.

Hillary's greatest supporters are single-issue conservatives who would refuse to vote because they disagreed with the GOP nominee on that single issue.

So we should just quit looking, cancel the primaries and head for the hills? Whatever.

BTW, I think Hillary looks like she is beaten every day... by an ugly stick.

"GOP Views Clinton As Virtually Unbeatable"

The GOP might as well be known as the French. They always surrender before the first shot is fired.

This is a classic case of the cult of personality. She is a horrible speaker. And she would be exposed during any debate with someone like Newt Gingrich. Her veneer would melt very quickly once she is juxtaposed with someone that has substance.

Yep, that's that old "can't do" spirit that the GOP leaders are famous for. That's why they couldn't do anything meaningful in the 12 years they were in power on the Hill, particularly the six years when they held both the Congress and the Presidency. What push-overs they are for Hellery and the Dems, who never doubt that they should be running the country and achieving their goal of socialism for the USA.
