The GOP's Plan to Self-Destruct

Robert Novak's Townhall.com column is enlightening as it points out that despite their recent "thumpin'", they just don't get it:

WASHINGTON -- The depleted House Republican caucus, a minority in the next Congress, convenes at 8 a.m. in the Capitol Friday on the brink of committing an act of supreme irrationality. The House members blame their leadership for tasting the bitter dregs of defeat. Yet, the consensus so far is that, in secret ballot, they will re-elect some or all of those leaders.

In private conversation, Republican members of Congress blame Majority Leader John Boehner and Majority Whip Roy Blunt in no small part for their midterm election debacle. Yet, either Boehner, Blunt or both are expected to be returned to their leadership posts Friday. For good reason, the GOP often is called "the stupid party."

This runaway train needs to be stopped before they condemn themselves to an even longer period in the wilderness. Read the rest of the column here.

UPDATE: GOP makes a poor choice for RNC Chairman. It just gets worse.
