But the people who want him to shut the hell up now voted for him on November 6th and probably campaigned for him prior to the Election. Hypocrites.

Never did we hear them talking about moderating their immigration stance, or reaching out to women and minorities - none of that. Instead, they courted corporate industry money and created the so-called Tea Party. That is, their response to 2008 was to go further to the right. It worked when they first started and they had the media momentum, but their act got pretty tired pretty fast once America got a good look at what they were proposing.

Now you have some of the big shots on Fox talking about how we're not a white-only country anymore, how we (meaning Republicans) need to come to terms with that reality. We're talking about Bill O"Reilly and Sean Hannity raising the white flag. That's a big deal. It's obvious to the world that Republicans lost because of their anti-immigrant, anti-minority, anti-women, anti-worker rhetoric. They placed all their chips on the Great White Hope and they lost, baby, they lost. Nobody likes to lose and nobody likes to get thrown out of office, so I think the change is real. They see the writing on the wall.

The danger for Dems is that if the Republicans move toward the middle, the Dems better be prepared to move toward the left or they will have no oxygen. The Republicans take up all the air in the room.

Jindal doesn't propose one singe real policy shift. All he says is "Hey, look you rich racists tone it down a notch and find some secret code to talk in because your making us look like rich racists."

They've learned a lesson, but it isn't the one that they should have learned.

The GOP's policies smell worse and they have nothing to show for it.

And they have TOTALLY said they wanted to stop dividing americans before. And yet, every election, that's exactly what they do!

Those of you who say "yeah, this is what they always say...." No. They never acknowledged that fighting marriage equality was a losing proposition before. Certainly not in 2008 or 2006, when those issues were losing at the ballot box while Dems were winning. They never said "Let's stop dividing Americans," because none of those elections illustrated how marginalized the GOP was becoming: A party for old white men only. This is new.

The GOP is descending into civil war, with the pragmatics taking on the teabaggy idealists, and I'm going to enjoy the whole thing.
