Remember, oh so long ago, when the Democrats were soul searching, hand-wringing: Get a backbone? Be more moderate? What to do? What to do?
Well, that shoe is on the GOP’s foot right now.
And this Saturday in Bellevue, the angst (“How do we appeal to mainstream voters?”) will be on full display at their annual meeting where they will be voting on their state chair. Should they keep Chairman Diane Tebelius? Should they replace Tebelius with Luke Esser?
Courtesy of Sound Politics, here’s a sneak peek at the intramural fisticuffs.
Jan. 27 UPDATE:
GOP spokesperson Carrie Shaw told me today’s meeting, at the Southcenter Doubletree, is closed to the press, but media availability will occur afterwards. I’m heading down.
Josh,
Are your palms sweaty over this?
Lawmaker proposes allowing man's best friend to be drinking buddy

OLYMPIA - If dog-loving lawmakers prevail, Fido could soon be sidling up to bar stools around Washington state.
Soggy dogs waiting outside a downtown Olympia pub inspired state Sen. Ken Jacobsen to propose a way to get them in from the cold and rain.
"There's all sorts of places you can bring animals now," said Jacobsen, who doesn't own a dog. "You can take dogs into hotels. My God, some people are carrying dogs in their purses. Why can't we have them in the bars?"
"Should they replace Tebelius with Luke Esser?"
You mean Luke the Pig Fucker?
Oh, whatever.
We all know that Republicans don't do introspection. If they did, they might actually start to feel guilty because their policies hurt people.
And you actually have to have a soul to search.
@ #1,
I did see that bill.
It's not like they really need it, though.
As far as I can tell, it's already legal for dogs to run free in every bar in town.
And bill or no bill, no one's going to stop them.
Was that a bead of sweat on your eyebrow? Share your feelings.
I foresee a bloodbath amidst the rending of their hairpieces and the snide words thrown carelessly about without concern for whom they may harm.
Serves them right, the red commies.
Come on, Republicans: do the right thing. Elect the pigfucker. And then get "opposition to yoga and witchcraft" back at the top of your platform where it belongs. Just like the good old days. Is Ellen Craswell still alive? Hell, run her even if she's not. Bring back slavery! Come on, now! We know you've got it in you!
@7 - I agree, time to resurrect Ellen Craswell, that will help the GOP vote in 2008!
The biggest problem for the Republicans is not finding a backbone, but finding a new base. The conservative Christians that make it up now are not going to allow them to change their platform enough to woo moderate voters. Additionally, vicious attacks on the Dems are, shockingly, being me by vicious attacks from the Dems. Unless the Dems blow it, which I doubt, it might be a while till this party sees a majority.
@9 - they should check out Satanists - they're Judeo-Christians after all.
you need to do a little more research about Ellen Craswell if thats what you think about her....
