This is the "new" GOP?

From the same source:
Republicans who actually have to win elections don't seem interested in engaging in the backlash politics. "The approach that many of the senators and leadership is taking is, well, you know, let's give her a fair hearing and see what she has to say," said GOP pollster Glen Bolger. "It's really hard to stop this kind of nomination [with only 40 Senate seats], and then there's the political Hispanic angle." A Republican consultant who advises GOP candidates on winning Latino votes, Lionel Sosa, said he expected most senators to ask plenty of questions about Sotomayor, then support her. "For Republicans to mount a filibuster is foolhardy," he said. "If a Republican doesn't care about getting reelected, and a Republican doesn't care about the image of the Republican Party, they may vote against her, but I think in the end, we'll see who the smart ones are and who the not so smart ones are by how they cast their votes."
And this is why I no longer have a political party that represents me in Washington. At least stand up and do what you think is right instead of just bowing down and accepting that you can't do anything about.
The only reason Rush, Hannity, Coulter, ect are being quoted so much is because there are no elected Republicans willing to stand up for their beliefs. This is why the moderates will destroy the GOP........(sorry if I went on an off topic rant) extra DIV

You started this thread so that you can run down the GOP, thats it.
On the contrary, I started this thread to point out how a few "republican" talking heads are dragging down a party that I once supported.
I guess you are part of the hard headed few who still choose to be blind about President Obama.
If that helps you.

Elected Republicans need to stand by their beliefs and set the pace for the party instead of allowing the talk show hosts to do it for them.

What makes you think I haven't and don't consider those "reliable" websites all that reliable?
I don't need to bash the GOP... they are doing a perfectly adequate job of doing it to themselves.
