R's without a message...? HAHAHAHAHAHA...

after seeing the almost identical headline about the dems thrust in my face for nearly six years, seeing this one is startling...

GOP Struggles To Define Its Message for 2006 Elections

why are they struggling to define their message...? it's not changed: lobotomize the social contract, continue to accrue and maintain unfettered power, keep rivers of money flowing into politically supportive super-rich pockets, maintain social control through fear and divisiveness, trash the constitution and the bill of rights... i've probably left out a few major things but you get the idea...

Republican efforts to craft a policy and political agenda to carry the party into the midterm elections have stumbled repeatedly as GOP leaders face widespread disaffection and disagreement within the ranks.

Anxiety over President Bush's Iraq policy, internal clashes over such divisive issues as immigration, and rising complaints that the party has abandoned conservative principles on spending restraint have all hobbled the effort to devise an election-year message, said several lawmakers involved in the effort.

While it is a Republican refrain that Democrats criticize Bush but have no positive vision, for now the governing party also has no national platform around which lawmakers are prepared to rally.

Every effort so far to produce such a platform has stumbled.

i guess when the wapo says "struggling to define its message," they are referring to those who consider themselves republicans who are now awakening from their slumber to find that bushco is not and never has been republican... the hard part for these people has to be that the message they have supported all this time is a far, far different message than they thought they were supporting... but they can take solace in the fact that it hasn't changed one iota...
