Is the Republican Party still relevant
in American politics?

http://bit.ly/4FM4x

The republican party is going through a massive upheaval, as is
obvious to any casual observer.  It is trying to reconcile the need to broaden
its appeal while not alienating its core base.  Arguments over a need for
leaders, a need for new ideas, a need to return to core values reveal that there
is no central power within the republican party, but rather 3 or 4 power bases,
none of which can agree to work with one another, the Mccainiacs (the so-called
moderates), the Palin Conservatives, the old GOP guard (The Romney folks), the
young representatives (led by people like Congressman Paul Ryan), and the salty
conservatives (constitution-issue people).

A charismatic leader can bring parties together, but that unity will
not transcend the leader.  The republican party is a party at war with itself,
questioning its very reason for existence.

Political News Summary:

The Dems are almost as divided as the republicans, but success is a
balm over such growing gulfs.  The republicans are throwing out a different 'new
idea' every week, going on 'listening tours' and repackaging Gingrich's Contract
With America.  What may be happening is that BOTH parties are losing their
relevance.

Remove BHO from the dems and they have Pelosi-Reid leading them. I
bet that Pelosi and Reid couldn't sell Obamacare.  BHO is his own party.

BHO is the only popular political incumbent at the national scene. 
In a sense, his popularity conceals the true depth of disenfranchisement across
the country, from the left AND the right, for seemingly very different reasons,
but one core similarity: a perception, real or imagined, that the people you
elected to carry out your worldview are failing to represent you.

Again, remove Obama and there is no national political leader left,
at present, who has positive approval ratings.

This has been a week of republican irrelevancy and democratic
missteps overshadowed by the continued popularity of BHO.  As long as he remains
popular, the ineptness of the rest of Congress (all members collectively- and
some exclusively) won't become an impediment to BHO completing the experiment we
call Obamacare.

ACORN eligible for $8 Billion more in funding

The oddest tweet for me was the one about the states seeing their
greatest revenue come from the Federal government. This issue,
state's rights, is becoming increasingly the rising issue on both
sides of the political spectrum.  It might very well be the
emergence of one of the fundamental contrasts that the competing
factions have, the power of states versus the power of the fed.

A last thought:

Controversy abounds about AG Eric Holder's idea of letting some
Gitmo detainees loose in America, maybe even give them aid.  From
what we can gather, and we would want greater clarification, the
people in question, the Chinese wygers, are not terrorists in even
the remotest sense of the word.  Sure, I don't want suspected
terrorists loose in our country, but I don't want to ostracize
people JUST for being 'picked up'.

This is an extremely dangerous precedent to accept.  In truth, if,
after getting access to the hard core 'facts', this really is what
is appears, hapless, desperate men who were used by the taliban,
then THE right thing to do is to take these people in to America,
give them an opportunity to earn their citizenship (the way all
immigrants do..however that is), and…YES…..fund them to help get
them started.

If these men are who they seem, they have done nothing wrong but
want to live and to be free.  We can do that for them, can't we?

We can't save the world, but circumstances brought these men to us.
We are responsible, not legally, but morally, to help lift these men
up…THAT is why America is so strong today.

We've made this our tweet of the week because we believe the Acorn
issue is one of the few vulnerabilities BHO has left.  His
loyalty to others, such as handing the keys to Pelosi out of a sense
of loyalty, may be his one scotoma.  If we were advising BHO,
we would tell him to get in front of this story before it slowly
crawls into the American conscience.
