Why the Republican Party is Dying

John Cole is right on the money, right here:
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.And that isn’t even getting into the COMPLETE and TOTAL corruption of our political processes at every level. The shit is really going to hit the fan after we vote these jackasses out of power in 2008.
Read the whole thing, including the comments, many of which are priceless. Yeah, this isn't the Republican Party of Ike. It's the Republican Party of Limbaugh, Robertson, Coulter, and Rove, and no political party in American history has ever deserved the electoral destruction that is roaring down the mountain toward it with unstoppable ferocity.
