Quote of the Day

"We must stop being the stupid party. It's time for a new Republican party that talks like adults. It's time for us to articulate our plans and visions for America in real terms. We had a number of Republicans damage the brand this year with offensive and bizarre comments. We've had enough of that. We must stop insulting the intelligence of voters. We need to trust the smarts of the American people. We have to stop dumbing down our ideas and stop reducing everything to mindless slogans and tag lines for 30-second ads. We must be willing to provide details in describing our views."—Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal (R), in a speech to the Republican National Committee last night.

Sure. The only problem I see with that is how when Republicans start providing details about their policies, voters hate those policies.

Anyway. Good luck with all that!
