[Joe Republic]

Okay.  So is this controversial because he said it out loud, or because it's true?

[justfollowingtheelections]

Well, it's true

[HagridOfTheDeep]

Well, at least he's realizing that to be successful he's going to need to run against the party he's representing.

[Chunk Yogurt for President!]

So he's happy about this right? After all, he is a neo-confederate racistjk

I hope your being sarcastic.

[Zioneer]

Either he was more rattled about that one Rachel Maddow interview than anyone thought previously, or he actually does want to broaden the party. He's been on this topic for months.

Even I'd call that a bit much.

[Mordecai]

To his credit he's the only one going into places where he may not be as welcome as a Democrat and talking to people about policy.

[BaconBacon96]

At least he's honest.

[Citizen (The) Doctor]

To his credit he's the only one going into places where he may not be as welcome as a Democrat and talking to people about policy.

Yep. He was actually on-campus in Berkeley not too long ago speaking to students. Had a pretty good reception, too. (Surprisingly enough considering how we've reacted to Napolitano this past year)

[7,052,770]

I'll give him credit for being the only Republican who at least realizes this is a problem.
