Mr. Blackwell, however, continues to do his dirty work for the GOP. He penned an OpEd for the Washington Times today which says, "Now, after two disastrous election cycles, it is clear the Republican Party must refocus again. A reenergized GOP must make Republican principles appealing both to its base and also to the changing face of America. If the party of Abraham Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt and Ronald Reagan wants to return to power, it must become the party of the 21st century"
The party of Lincoln. Is that so? Our 16th president must roll over in his proverbial grave each time he hears a christocrat refer to him. And TR as well? The man who fought to preserve the environment and railed against Big Business? At least Blackwell got the Reagan reference correct. That bloated Reagan deficit that he created pales in comparison with the Bush whopper!
Yet here is the most humorous part of the Blackwell tome: "On these and many other issues, the Republican Party embraces what the majority of Americans believe, and the Democratic Party opposes those same positions."
Yes, he said that. He, like other christocrats, live in the 'I believe' world of their own creation. Why would anyone doubt that the majority of Americans support Republican issues?
Let's see: Obama won 365 to 173 electoral votes, 53% to 46%, 67,000,000 to 58,000,000. Democrats took 8 Senate seats from the GOP and more than 20 House seats.
Looks like Blackwell was right: America favors the Republican Party.
