G'day Everyone.
Time for a little politics post. Micah Brown ought to rejoice of what the democrats have said for years to the Republican party: BUSH IS A MILLSTONE AROUND YOUR NECK!
I love the very admission of this CNN article: http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/03/27/gop.comeback/index.html
When the GOP didn't learn with the first Bush for 4 years, then Micah Brown rejoiced for 8 with Bill Clinton, and then when the 2nd Bush came into power, why didn't the GOP realize that Bush would become popular right into the middle of the 2nd term? Why didn't they just an open revolt when 2006 elections (mid-2nd term ) went badly? I guess, logic is when the hope and prayer that Bush would pull out a better effort by the time 2008 hit, everything went DOOM for the GOP. Especially for John McCain! Sarah Palin? Oh, please. Not an UNKNOWN woman like her. It was the WORST move for Joh McCain. Especially when he resigned from the Gallaudet University Board of Trustees. Without any groundswell of support, McCain just plain lost and put DOOM in the republican party. Even in the local elections where I live, it was DOOM for defeat.
How much can you hope to defeat a person like Obama? That was the biggest win of all time politically. But if the republican party had distanced themselves from both Bush and McCain, there might have been hope in the lesser and local political races.
Should they reorganize thoroughly? Yes. Starting with whoever is Chairman of the GOP and go on down to the local levels. I may not expect any hope of wins by 2011. They shouldn't expect any at that point. But 2013 will tell us if the GOP really finds a REAL candidate that will formally challenge Obama in 2013 if Obama wants a 2nd term.
Depending on how Obama does by 2013 will be an indication if the voters want him to run for a 2nd term.
In my honest opinion: The GOP should focus on 2013 instead of 2011. That will be most important when it counts. 4 years isn't long, but it's enough to help the GOP to be prepared for better days.
The GOP may lambaste me after this, but you know, I've chose to be an independent political person now. But in this political climate of nation, we are all trying to emerge from the 8 years of Bush and finding our way again as a nation. In a year's time, we will put away all the things that Bush did and hope that we will survive this economic mess.
We can't hope for an easy fix by President Obama, but we can hope that he can show that he can be a leader for our nation and for the world.
Semper FI.

The GOP might be so lame but the Democrats has it worst with Barack Obama. For example, why did he allowed USA to buy condoms from China instead of made in the USA?
To make another matter worst, are we really ready for the new Budget that President Obama wants to pass that cost 3 Trillion Dollars? He should be cutting corners and make a reasonable budget to help tackle the 1 Trillion Dollars deficits we already got from President Bush first simulation bill. Unless we get some GOP balance in the Congress in 2010, Democrats are going to destroy our Country with huge deficit that I can clearly see "USA For Sale" sign.
