"What is it with conservative men and cigars?"

"Young people, she said, are tired of being told what to think by old people, they're tired of having numbers shouted at them, and they're not going to be convinced to swing from D to R unless conservatives are able to communicate more effectively."

That's kind of my point. The people who make up the base of the GOP are either dying or lunatic fringe. Everyone else is being alienated by their rhetoric and policy...and the simple mathematics is, they are everyone else. They can't win low-turnout midterms through gerrymandered districts forever...without a major…

Man, I am sick of the thought that "this is all an image issue, if we just communicate better people will love us!" "We aren't outdated and horrible, the Mainstream Media just portrays us this way!"

I wold have puked on many of them. They push to much hate with their Faux Noise, noisemax, and brightlessbarf propaganda channels/.coms.

I think this sums up the modern GOP... even the modern YOUNG GOP... "'You're a conservative, and you just don't know it yet,' said several different men under 30 to me..."

"You're a conservative, and you just don't know it yet,"

She was KILLING it with the Chris Christie impersonation, when all of a sudden, from behind...

How do you feel about the Second Amendment? (Second Amendment GOOD.)

My roommate is one of those people. We both say we are not to discuss politics, but somehow we end up getting involved in discussions that I normally shy away from even with people of my own view set. Luckily, only about twice have I been too hardheaded to concede she has a right to her belief and hurt her feelings.…

Ugh. You had me at The Gaylord in National Harbor. I spent a 5-day work conference there last April and the only thing that could have made it worse would have been being there for a function like this. Bless your liberal heart.
