It looks like they're on a shopping trip, every couple of days floating a new name, just to see Conservatives reactions, and maybe more importantly (to them) Media's reactions.
This Republican Establishment still doesn't get it. They figure we Conservatives are all dumb enough to buy whatever they sell. While their track record for pandering isn't too good, I believe things are different now. Out here in real America, we're paying attention as things stink and there not getting better. We now fully realize we've been sold out by a powerful entity which we're supposed to employ. In 2012, we will act as employers once again.
We now have a means of alternate representation known as the Tea Party. If the Republican Establishment continues on their current path, 2012 may be the end of the Republican Party as we know it, and the rise of another party. It wouldn't be pretty, but it might be a war which has to be fought.
Ball is in their court.
I could not agree with you more. The GOP as an institution has reached the point where they must turn back to what it claims it is for, or pass a point of no return. So far, they seem determined to go forward as the lesser of the two big government, smaller liberty parties.
Contrary to many here, I do not think the GOP can be salvaged.
