“Pissing off liberals doesn’t win you elections.”

Duros62: “Yeah, but it’s easier than actually having any ideas.”

Well, it’s easier if you are a conservative Republican.

“Pissing off liberals doesn’t win you elections. Just the opposite, it keeps you from re-tooling your message for the 21st century and clearing out the dead wood (Limbaugh, Coulter, etc.) that only appeals to 1/4 of the populace, and an aging populace at that.”

Appealing to 25% of the population, turning off moderate Republicans, scaring away more and more independents, and motivating Democrats.

And they think it is a winning strategy.

The Jindal-fondling of wizbang commenters has been just priceless. Highly recommended.

There was a comment on another blog that I’ll paraphrase: What’s awesome about watching the Republican party implode is that they _think_ Limbaugh and Joe not-a-Plumber and Coulter are so effective because they piss of liberals. Thing is, they don’t piss us off at all — they make us laugh to the point of tears at just how stupid and, more importantly, ineffective they are. Joe not-a-Plumber was a prop from a _failed_ campaign, as was Palin to a larger extent.

Pissing off liberals doesn’t win you elections. Just the opposite, it keeps you from re-tooling your message for the 21st century and clearing out the dead wood (Limbaugh, Coulter, etc.) that only appeals to 1/4 of the populace, and an aging populace at that.

As O-dub mentions, please Republicans — More! More Jindal! More Limbaugh! More Palin! More!

Lib-ruls tm supposedly go off on a tangent about Orwell. Heh. That’s what he did before he wrote books presented as science fiction – radio shock jock. There’s nothing new under the Sun.

Your modern Republican party (i.e., since Nixon’s Southern Strategy). Charming as ever.

The comparison to Benjamin Franklin is astonishing.

After his speech, CPAC presented Rush with a “Defender of the Constitution” award, which included a document signed by Benjamin Franklin. The presenter then compared Rush to Franklin:

The king of England sat with his advisers, and they read the writings of Ben Franklin. They said, “The colonists will never be successful if they read what he writes.” Just as the king’s successor, who is in the White House, said the other day, that conservatives will never be successful if they listen to Rush Limbaugh. The only way we will be successful is if we listen to Rush Limbaugh!

The GOP seems to be collapsing in on itself like a white dwarf star, soon to be replaced by a black hole of stupid.

Presenting award, author Brad O’Leary tells CPAC: “the only way we will be successful is if we listen to Rush Limbaugh”

Cue Dennis to check in and tell us that the only reason we are laughing our asses off at these guys is because we must be afraid of them.

No, Dennis, some insanity is just too delicious to ignore.

Go ahead, defend Rush Limbaugh as a pillar of society. What is it you like most about him? His drug addiction that led to deafness? His smuggling Viagra to the underage prostitution capital of the Third World? His money laundering? His racism? His cowardice? His unfamiliarity with truth? His inability to apologize for being wrong? His megalomania?

Help me here, because I know that somebody must like him, and I’m too blind to see why.

Oliver, I’m still recovering from Rush’s psychotic diatribe that the Conservative Nincompoop Network fawned over. If you put Rush in a blond wig, cha cha heels and a fishtail dress he would have sounded like Divine in Pink Flamingos. Yet, this ass is the leader of the Republic Party. Under his leadership the Republic Party is on the same self destructive path as the Whigs. He’s moving further and further to the right, creating a big hole that the Libertarians can fill very quickly. These Republic Party members are nothing more than a bunch of lemmings and they are getting ready to jump off the cliffs en masse. Amazing!
