The Embarassment that is the GOP: Con't

This is why I've almost stopped paying attention to these clowns. If it weren't for their sponsors in the corporate media, they would have probably dissolved by now. But as long as cable news and the Sunday talk shows still pretend they matter, the GOP will keep pretending they haven't completely self-destructed.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Republican Party leaders are dropping a proposal aimed at changing the name of the Democratic Party.

In a deal reached Wednesday, the GOP will not vote on a resolution asking the Democrats to rename their party the "Democrat Socialist" party.

Two Republican National Committee members who had backed the measure say that supporters have agreed to change the resolution's language to urge Americans to oppose what the GOP is calling the Democrats' "socialist" agenda.

GOP Chairman Michael Steele had opposed the name-changing resolution, and other party leaders have called it "stupid" and "absurd."
