With the latest thing on Ted Stevens, and Palin being a VP threat, it's predictable. But still, look at the material the GOP has chosen to "lead" the party; The East Coast Rockefeller, blue-blood Liberals who call themselves "Republicans" who could care less. Like Romney, he played the part perfectly to please the Socialists as Governor, then somehow claimed to be the opposite really, when he needed Conservative support. And the Neo-Cons sucked it up like cotton candy, much like they have done with McCain. But the party as a whole has already gone off the cliff with the rest of the Lemmings.
So when did the GOP choose Rockefeller to lead the party? I was at the 1964 convention where he was loudly booed (yes I know he wanted the delegates to boo him).
