McCain wasn’t middle of the road enough for him?

All I see is pandering to the partys crazies like the birthers
The moron went too far with that little comment. What a dolt... and to think he worked with President Reagan? Good heavens he is a kool aid drinker or a closet liberal.

That has left lunatics like Glenn Beck as the partys de facto leaders. Beck isn't a Republican.

I think the Republican Party is in the same boat the Democrats were in in the early eighties dominated by extremists unable to see how badly their party was alienating moderates and independents. Bartlett contends that he remains a Reaganite.
Then he goes all squishy and condemns the very people are Reaganites.
Bartlett strikes me as a very confused man. But this might explain it...
...dont wish to be fired like I was from NCPA .

Idiots like this rarely give any definitive issue or stance that they stand against. They just moan that they aren’t included and call themselves moderates.
Really, what does this guy care about “birthers” for? If he’s at all interested in a party that reaches out to him, how would one even go about reaching to someone regarding the place of Barack Obama’s birth?
It’s time this guy grew up and started approaching things from a practical take on life. Parties have philosophies. Exactly what is the philosophical stance that bothers him. If he can’t name it, he’s uselessly awash in a sea of meaninglessness.

I still consider myself to be a Reaganite... Mindless partisanship has replaced principled conservatism. What passes for principle in the party these days is what can we do to screw the Democrats today..... That has left lunatics like Glenn Beck ... Mr. Bartlett is no doubt a victim of Palin Derangement Syndrome as well. He will still be stumbling and bumbling about "the extremists" who have taken over his party, when BamBam's death panels are filing his manila folder in the Closed Case drawer.

Why doesn’t the Republican party just disband?
Does this guy remember that the Dems controlled Congress under Reagan?

I will know that the party is on the path to recovery when someone in a position of influence reaches out to former Republicans like me. Mr. Bartlett does not say what policies and principles the Republican party should support to "reach out" to him. Does he have anything positive to contribute?
To: Paige
The moron went too far with that little comment. As far as I am concerned, his commit about Glen Beck didn't help his cause either.
To: SeekAndFind
"Thats why I wrote my "Wrong on Race" book, which no one read." Says it all I think. What a maroon. I think that the Obama administration will/has set race relations back 20 years and I don't think thing will be at all good for the country.

Actually, Bruce, there aready are groups like that. The problem isn’t that they don’t exist. The problem is that they suck at doing what you want them to do. I say this not out of malice, simply as a technically correct description of their performance.

This guy sounds like those “life-long Republicans” that call Rush and talk about how they voted for 0. Sounds like a member of the McCain-Powell wing of the party.
