Republicans, do they think?

What is going o n with the Republican Party? They just lost an election during which the President’s proposal to let taxes on the wealthiest citizens revert to their previous levels was thoroughly discussed. The Republicans lost. Yet they still think that should oppose this concept. Are they waiting for a change in results? Did Mr. Rove tell them that it was still too early to judge the results? Or are they just that pig headed? Maybe they cannot count. After all they did try hard not to count minorities. Maybe they just cannot see them. Here in Massachusetts, The Republican party are hoping that John Kerry will be appointed Secretary of State and thus open up his senate seat for a special election. It is the GOP’s thinking that Scott Brown who was elected to finish out Ted Kennedy’s term would then be re-instated to the senate. Brown won election by driving a pickup truck and wearing a barn coat. (He is a former model.) Generally it was perceived that his opponent lost the election rather than Brown won it. Also, he just lost by a wide margin when he stood for re-election against a political neophyte. I don’t that anyone even now can remember exactly what issue Brown was running on. He did seem to indicate that he looked and acted like a Democrat even though he is a Republican. What are the Republicans thinking? Are they thinking? Perhaps they should change their symbol from an elephant to Jiminy Cricket. I guess Disney would sue.
