"It is sobering to me to be standing here, as a senior member of this party, telling you from 1976 to 2013 we have the dominant wing of this party, which has learned nothing and is as mired in the past and mired in stupidity as it was in 1976."
And right on cue, SARAH is babbling incoherently right now at CPAC
Almost as entertaining as listening to TGT try to debate economics

On the Edge of a Breakdown? Mitt Romney Thinks He Is Running For President at CPAC
Even though, he lost the election a confused Mitt Romney delivered his stump speech to CPAC.
Romney said that he was disappointed that he didn’t win, and the CPAC crowd called out, “you’re a winner.” Romney called for Republicans to “Take back the nation…take back the Senate, and re install conservative principles.” (It was a moment of deja vu as Romney delivered what was basically a stump speech about all of Americans that met on the campaign trail.)
Either Mitt Romney was stuck in a time warp, or he thinks that he is still running for president. It seems that Mitt Romney was still trying to convince the American people that he really knows what their lives are like. Romney said that he believes a conservative view can attract a majority of Americans. Romney told CPAC that he thinks Republicans should learn their lessons from the 30 unpopular Republican governors across the country. Romney directly praised Rick Snyder for imposing “right to work.” legislation in Michigan.
Romney touted Paul Ryan’s leadership. The advice Romney offered to any potential president was to, “Do whatever you can to keep America strong.” Romney attacked Russia again by claiming that they like China and the “jihadists” don’t understand freedom. The whole Romney speech was a sort of Twilight Zone moment, where he acknowledged losing the election, but still acted like he was running for president.
As usual with Romney the crowd started out cheering for him, but longer he spoke, the less enthused they became. Once again we got to see that conservatives may like the idea of Mitt Romney, but he bores them to death. Romney seems to be having some issues with losing the election. At one point, the crowd cheered when they thought Mitt was done stumping only to have Romney continue to take the last little bit of life out of the room.
Romney even used his campaign song as his opening and close. This man is having some serious issues, but his biggest problem seems to be that Mitt still thinks he is campaigning for president.
Repugs just don't seem to grasp reality very well.
"Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) won the Conservative Political Action Conference straw poll on Saturday, marking an early indicator of conservative support ahead of the next presidential election in 2016."
He'll run as the Tea Party candidate, and pull in at least 6 or 7 Confederate states, along with several Tea Party congressional candidates as well.
By 2016 the repub party will have no majority in either house of congress.
And the 2020 election will effectively exterminate the repub party.
Just Another Failed Ideology Consigned To The Ash Heap Of History.

Seriously gang....who at this point was thinking of both a dem and a repub?
So check your bias by how you answered. Bush and bush lite (ACLU name for Obama) are one and the same.
Same old worn-out story, repeat, repeat, repeat. Nothing new here. Republicans are incapable of having an original thought that is better for the people than it is for a business or an industry.
The GOP chairman told Schieffer the 2012 Republican primary process "hurt" the party and its nominee.
"It hurt because there was no way to control it," Priebus said. "I mean if you have 10 candidates and nine out of 10 raise their hand and say I'm going to any two hour block offered, well then you have a debate every three days and you're the only show in town. So while we were playing footsie debating each other 23 times what was the other side doing? They were spending potentially hundreds of millions of dollars on data, technology, voter outreach. They were actually getting the job done."
To fix the problem, Priebus said he wouldn't have debates start until the fall of the year before the election.
"I would do one a month, this is me talking now. I would do one a month. I would have more say over the moderators, more say over the debate partners. I would limit the debate to a reasonable amount. I don't know, maybe 7 or 8, but not 23, Bob," said Priebus, adding: "That's ridiculous."
HAHAHAHAHAHA
"I would have more say over the moderators"
We see the exact same thing happening on this thread as well - the more repubs try to debate facts, truth, reality and data, the worse they lose the debate by.
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.), an emerging leader of the new generation of conservative Republicans in Congress, on Saturday urged conservatives to double down on their principles and said the movement has started winning the debate.
I think a Paul/Cruz ticket would be just the thing!
