Remember the Federalists, the Whigs, The Bull Moose party? Political parties that lost favor with America because they lost sight of what America wants and needs. You would think, after the 2006 losses in Congress and the defeat of McCain/Palin, that the Republicans would reassess their priorities. Apparently not. With the economy in shambles, two wars in progress, they turn to the likes of Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter to re-energize the party. Wrong moves, guys. Your base, those rural American conservatives are no longer all that concerned with big government, gay rights, abortion and all the other nation dividing things that Karl Rove used to tear us apart. They are concerned with their wallets. Working class America is suffering most here and sooner or later they are going to figure out that your talk of tax cuts doesn't mean tax cuts for America's workers, but for the rich. The rich are sucking America dry, with the support of Republicans. They could fool their base with hate and fundamentalist principles but that dog won't hunt no more.
To empower a drug addicted hypocrite like Limbaugh as a party standard bearer is ridiculous. Where are the moderate Republicans? Where are Republicans who care about America not special interest groups. Wake up, boys, and save your party before it becomes a footnote in history books.
