68. So where was this guy BEFORE the election?

“We can have honest, open discussions about the future of the country without unnecessarily jabbing our fingers in the eyes of Hispanic voters, African-American voters, Asian voters.”

No, you can't. You demonstrated that clearly enough in the 2012 Republican primaries around the country.

Like the bad guy in the Dirty Harry movie said, "Who's 'WE,' sucker?"

Limbaugh and Hannity ARE your party. Voices of reason are now considered the lunatic fringe. Ryan, Mourdock and Akin are the Republican mainstream. Huntsman is not. Lugar is not. Feehery is not, either. When Fox goes off the air due to lack of viewer interest, THEN I'll believe that Republicans have detected a flaw in their party. Until then, their mainstream considers guys like Feehery the flaw.
