Gotta Love Them Southern Boys

Carville and Begala go at it on The Huffington Post on a piece about 'The Blame Game'. 'Clinton's Brains' get the ball rolling for the Republican dissection and blaming to ascertain why they are/will/might/should lose the election, not only the Presidency, but the majority, and likely seats on the Supreme Court.

The Republican Party is atomizing, and each faction must participate in Project BLAME. The neocons may want to blame the theocons. The economic conservatives will likely blame the big spenders. The conflagration will be so multi-dimensional we'll need a program to sort out the players. They will need to answer fundamental questions: What does it mean to be a Republican? Do Republicans support laissez-faire or nationalized banking? Do Republicans support a balanced budget or half-trillion-dollar deficits? Do Republicans want a "humble foreign policy" like George W. Bush, or preventive war against countries that pose no threat, like, umm, George W. Bush? Are Republicans the party of limited government or a vast Medicare prescription drug benefit? Are they wary of Big Brother or eager to expand warrantless wiretaps? Do they support Christian values or torture? Are they the party that believes that cutting-edge technology can shoot a missile out of the sky or the party that believes humans and dinosaurs walked the earth simultaneously?

To be very honest, I am not happy about this. I live in the great 'Red State' of Indiana. I have voted for Republican Senator Richard Lugar time and time again.

I understand how average Americans who are Conservatives and Republicans feel. The Republican Part has lost it's way and the Republican Party has left it's constituents by the wayside.

Democrats have experienced this in the past. I have empathy.

Democrats have waited a very long time for a leader like Barack Obama. Bill Clinton took us to the center and that was fine. Barack Obama brings us back to our roots.

Yes Carville and Begala are taking a shot, but they are also making a point that needs to be made. Democrats should also be mindful of participating in 'rubbing their noses in it' too much, too hard and for too long of a time. It's going to be hard not to do that, but I am going to try.

I do hope that the Republican party will remake itself into something representative of a 'Grand Old Party'. It's time for change, and that is one change that is sorely needed not only for Republicans, but for uniting Americans everywhere.
