Senate Minority Leader Mitch "Missy" McConnell addressed the Rethuglican National Committee yesterday, saying that the party is in danger of becoming marginalized as a "regional party." In danger of? Missy, you're already there. Your party represents the Old Confederacy and some states stretching from Idaho to Nebraska, sparsely populated with paranoid militia members. The demographics over the last 6 years are shifting the Democrats' way: youth vote, Latino vote, college-educated vote, suburban vote, all trending Democratic.
When the Rethugs want to dictate how you conduct your most personal activities, while letting corporate pirates run amok and plunder your retirement funds, when they want to write the prayers for your kids to say in public school, while their leaders spew hate against minorities and immigrants over "talk" radio. . . .well, you've got more than image problems. And you need to be marginalized.
