Like many in his party, Edwards said the GOP’s main hope for avoiding a blowout this fall rests in having candidates liberate themselves from their national party label and run on local issues.

The GOP won both the House and the Senate by NATIONALIZING the election and every since they have worked overtime to forget it and to run away from conservative issues.

I can’t believe I missed that line. “Local issues”?! Wasn’t that the strategy in 2006? Wow, that worked out so great, lets try it again!

Instead of trying to “liberate themselves from their national party label”, why not take it back? But that would involve taking responsibility for it, something Congressmen avoid like the plague. Besides, most of them are even more responsible than the President for soiling the name of the Republican Party.

The one silver lining this year will be a continued purge of the GOP. One can only hope we can take advantage of this at the grassroots level and put forth some worthy new candidates next time.
