| ABC's Claire Shipman Worries About 'Republican-edgy' Tone of CPAC, GOP's 'Big Tent Problem' |
| 2010-02-20 |
| Good Morning America's Claire Shipman on Friday highlighted the upbeat mood of the 2010 Conservative Political Action Conference, but also fretted about the "Republican-edgy" tone. This came after she mentioned unidentified conference promises of a "Nancy Pelosi pinata and a Harry Reid punching bag." Former Democratic operative turned journalist George Stephanopoulos lectured that for Republicans to retake the White House, "...They're also going to have to reach out to the center. That's the big challenge." As usual the Publicans have to move to the center, the Sinners are fine where they are. Shipman agreed and derided this as a "big tent problem." She added, "This gathering pulls together so many different kinds of Republicans. A lot of enthusiasm here, George. Can they get their message and agenda together?" |

| #7 One of the things I hate about the far left is their personal attacks on the individual, not their policies. I was really disapointed to see the right following the left in this. The republican party must stand above personal attacks. A pelosi pinata? A reid punching bag? Give me a break, we stoped that kind of childish behavior back in high school. And so ok, what did either of those two things do to make our party better, stronger, or even more able to takle the real issues of our nation???? Not a damn thing, all it served is to further polarize our nation. And as far as moving to the center, guess what? The center is where the majority of Americans sit. The party that answers to the center will rule this country. This is why the tea party is growing. The first party to slide to the center in any measurable manner will sweep the next few elections. Brown is a shining example of this. He was on FOX the other nite and refused to slam any democrat, instead he wanted to talk issues. Of course FOX wanted to pick at Reid and Pelosi, Brown refused. Brown demonstrated where our American Political system needs to be. CPAC has shown the Republican party has learned nothing, their leaders are the same rinos that lost to Obama, and will lose to him again. |

| #6 I guess they felt they had to cover the event. Amazing they could pull their heads out of the Messiah's ass long enough to make their whiny little comments. |

| #5 Our Shipman? No. Our Shipman is most decidedly male, married, and a former Navy man. |
