There are times when watching the GOP eat its young gets to be too much. Take this ridiculous "analysis" of why the GOP is seemingly in decline.
Seriously- what does the current Republican party stand for? Permanent war, fear, the nanny state, big spending, torture, execution on demand, complete paranoia regarding the media, control over your body, denial of evolution and outright rejection of science, AND ZOMG THEY ARE GONNA MAKE US WEAR BURKHAS, all the while demanding that in order to be a good American I have to spend most of every damned day condemning half my fellow Americans as terrorist appeasers.
Who does he think he is? Amanda Marcotte? That's what this drivel sounds like.
If John Cole was actually interested in why many Americans have rejected the Republicans, he might look at what Americans say about issues like torture. And, frankly, more people disgusted with Republicans are concerned that the GOP has become just like the Democrats: big government solutions and overspending rather than fiscal restraint. And executions on demand? Where does that take place? Sounds to me like Cole needs to stop getting all his information about Republicans from moonbat websites.
