Polishing a Turd

The GOP doesn’t see anything wrong with their party that a quick buff and shine won’t fix:

“It’s not the platform of the party that’s the issue,” RNC Chairman Reince Priebus said Friday after being easily reelected to a second, two-year term. “In many cases, it’s how we communicate about it. It is a couple dumb things that people have said.”

A slide presented during a closed-press strategy session said that Mitt Romney might be president if he had won fewer than 400,000 more votes in key swing states.

“We don’t need a new pair of shoes; we just need to shine our shoes,” said West Virginia national committeewoman Melody Potter.

So as far as they’re concerned, it’s not what you say but how you say it.  So they can still be anti-women, anti-gay, anti-immigrant, pro-pollution, pro-mythology and anti-science; they just need to market it better.

Yeah, that’s the ticket.

11 barks and woofs on “Polishing a Turd

  1. “It’s not the platform of the party that’s the issue,” RNC Chairman Reince Priebus said Friday after being easily reelected to a second, two-year term. “In many cases, it’s how we communicate about it. It is a couple HONEST things that people have said.”

    FIFY.

  2. Jeb Bush is giving them do’s and dont’s when talking about immigration. He has a glossary he’s hoping gets memorized by members of the Grand Old Party when speaking before a group. #1 is don’t talk about “self deportation”. But wouldn’t you agree that it’s going to take a couple of years of re-indoctrination and maybe some psychotherapy to fix their problem. I don’t think it can work.

    • Of course it can’t work. The GOTea has made it their mission to chase anyone with a functioning neuron from the party. I’m actually surprised the current crop can speak in complete sentences, Palin or no Palin.
