The in-fighting over a distinct message has begun.
How does the Republican party put "utter failure" and "dangerously incompetent" on campaign literature in a good light?
Oops, I guess you can't.
Republican efforts to craft a policy and political agenda to carry the party into the midterm elections have stumbled repeatedly as GOP leaders face widespread disaffection and disagreement within the ranks.
Anxiety over President Bush's Iraq policy, internal clashes over such divisive issues as immigration, and rising complaints that the party has abandoned conservative principles on spending restraint have all hobbled the effort to devise an election-year message, said several lawmakers involved in the effort.
The struggles reflect philosophical differences among competing factions within the party, but they also underscore the political consequences of holding power.
Republicans insist they remain united around core principles of smaller government, lower taxes and a strong national defense, but can no longer agree on how to implement that philosophy and are squabbling over their delivery on those commitments.
Take each other down a few pegs, gentlemen.
Which party is the party with a lack of message and sense of direction? How ironic.
[Republicans], [GOP], [Democrats], [Congress], [November 2nd], [upcoming elections], [election-year message], [utter failure], [dangerously incompetent]
