TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) - U.S. Rep. Lynn Jenkins told a recent gathering in northeast Kansas that the Republican Party is looking for a "great white hope" to help stop President Barack Obama's political agenda.

Videotape shows Jenkins, a Republican, making the comment at an Aug. 19 forum. She was discussing the GOP's future after Democrats took control of the House and Senate and Obama became the nation's first black president. Jenkins is white.

Jenkins spokeswoman Mary Geiger told The Associated Press Thursday Jenkins apologizes for her word choice and did not intend to offend anyone. A White House spokesman withheld comment ahead of Thursday afternoon's on-the-record briefing.

The term stems from the early 1900s when there was a campaign to find a white boxer who could defeat heavyweight boxing champion Jack Johnson, who was black.

Demise of the Whig Party = GOP??

"The party was ultimately destroyed by the question of whether to allow the expansion of slavery to the territories. With deep fissures in the party on this question, the anti-slavery faction successfully prevented the nomination of its own incumbent President Fillmore in the 1852 presidential election; instead, the party nominated General Winfield Scott, who was soundly defeated. Its leaders quit politics (as Lincoln did temporarily) or changed parties. The voter base defected to the Republican Party, various coalition parties in some states, and to the Democratic Party. By the 1856 presidential election, the party had lost its ability to maintain a national coalition of effective state parties and endorsed Millard Fillmore, now of the American Party, at its last national convention."

John McCain repeated history when he got whipped like General Winfield Scott in 1852. The GOP voter base is in disarray and disillusioned. Sarah Palin is a pretty poor rallying point for the future. Stick a fork in the GOP, it's done......

Instead it put up one of the most liberal GOP Senators of my lifetime, a rival to Kennedy with whom he collaborated on..... let's see, the amnesty bill for one.

The GOP is owned by the same greedy, amoral, vermin who own the Dems. This thing can only end with the destruction of the criminally insane statist types or the destruction of all rational individuals who oppose their disease.
