Its time to oppose Big Government and socialism. If the GOP does not try to stop it now, it will not be able to stop it later. Oh and the MSM/Drivebys are the enemy.

He’s a leftwing kook who worries about “images.” He doesn’t care if America goes in the toilet as long as we look good doing it.

That "guy" is a very famous idiot. The kind of idiot the WaPo dearly loves.

Broder has been inside the Beltway, and inside the White House, so long that his mind has atrophied. He has become a caricature of himself, an ignorant has-been, publishing his bromides as if they had any relevance.

Think Helen Thomas in drag, but a little younger, That's Broder.

Broder is a dyed in the wool "postie" and he's married to a "postie" and he's been caught in bed with other "posties".

He's an example of how incestuous the print media became over the years and why their industry is disappearing.

Exactly what is the “national image” these days? There north has no right to drag down the south. We have our own problems.

It was written by David Broder. You are correct. In fact, he is a long-standing, certifiable idiot.

If Broder thinks it is bad for the Republican Party, you can rest assured. We are definitely on the right track.

Broder is precisely the kind of (big L) liberal that Rush wants to keep one of around just to always reminds us what liberals are all about (you don’t want two of them in case they can propagate).

I’m still waiting for the WashingtonCompost to declare something “left-wing.” Oh wait, that would be them...

Of course Broder has only the best in mind for the GOP. We should move our primaries to TX/Bama rather than IA and NH.

I've got news for this guy and any other ass who is concerned with how it looks or who it offends, southern R's notwithstanding. I could give a wit about the "national image". It is time to do the right thing "image" be damned! It is past time. Now who will stand up for America and do it?!?

**The GOP Goes South**

Apparently the GOP didn’t go FAR ENOUGH SOUTH to relearn what they needed to WIN back in November.

When they get fur ‘nuff south to relearn what is IMPORTANT TO REAL AMERICANS, I shall remain an Independent Conservative (after30 years a card carrying Republican)

How can Broder see anything clearly?

He has had his head up Obama’s nether regions so long he forgot what the sun looks like.

“Southerners who care not what their stance does to harm the party's national image...”

I hope we are not interested in a national “image” but rather the fiscal health and security of the nation. Such being the case these massive spending sprees must be resisted. We need to find a way to get the people of the nation to rise up enmasse saying “no new spending, no more taxes, no more pork.”
