After the last election, the GOP touted their loss in New York district 23 as a "victory," even though their attempt to Talibanize the party (they withdrew party support at the last minute for the Republican who won the primary, purportedly because she exhibited "liberal" characteristics) succeeded only in turning the vote Democratic in a district that had been solidly Republican since the time of Teddy Roosevelt.
Having whipped themselves into a frenzy celebrating this NY-23 "victory," the Taliban-GOP (mostly orchestrated by Michele Bachmann, Rush Limbaugh, and Glen Beck, and egged on by the fallen GOP brain-trust, Dick Cheney and Karl Rove and the "you-lie" contingent) has devised a new loyalty oath to determine which candidates get to share in the GOP largesse of campaign funds. The questionnaire sounds like a story list from FauxNews, and will, I predict, bring about the final collapse of US conservative politics as we know them.
This loyalty oath, coupled with the resignation this week of GOP Communications Director Trevor Francis, points to a very small pool of large fish who have turned on each other. The big fish are viciously devouring one another while the rank and file turn in disgust to embrace centrist Dems, if they can find any. And oddly, Sarah Palin, out sellin' books instead of swimmin' and gobblin' with the big boys, begins to seem almost pragmatist! Goodbye, party of Truman, Reagan, GWB, and Scooter! Maybe now we can get something done.
