As a disemboweled GOP struggles to marshal an effective opposition to President Barack Obama, it can at least take heart in a singular fact: Obama’s historic election as the first African American president, and even the possibility of such a candidacy, are direct legacies of the Republican Party.
The GOP originated in the mid-19th century as a barely choate coalition of former Whigs, evangelical Christians, and New England intellectuals who had little in common save a loathing of slavery and a devotion to its demise — either by restricting its growth into the territories (the course favored by moderate Republicans) or by outright abolition (favored by the so-called radicals).

[As a disemboweled GOP struggles to marshal an effective opposition to President Barack Obama,]
They disemboweled themselves by deserting conservative values and all of America is paying the price by the communist run democrat Congress.
And the now LIBERAL GOP will not change, they are like the old wineskins the Lord Jesus taught about. They are good for nothing but to be thrown away.
And the communist democrats know it.

Well, there’s that “barely choate coalition” thing. The ‘just say no’ and ‘me too’ party rarely manages to say what it is for. If, that is, anyone in the GOP knows what they are for.
Is ‘choate’ like, supposed to be like, the opposite of ‘inchoate’, you know?

Most painful of all was watching Palin, shackled to McCain's policies like Princess Leia to Jabba the Hutt. Squirming her way through explanations her heart clearly wasn't in, needing to toe the line of McCain's nebulous free-market-populism. It was doubly frustrating to conservatives who knew that Palin understood the root of the problem, and could have eviscerated the Democrats on it handily had she been taken off her chain. Despite the media's crowing about the wickedly energizing Palin being a 'drag on the ticket', the race would have been over long ago without her; she truly represents the future of the party. Like Obama, she is sharp, determined, decisively partisan, with a governing philosophy definable in clear, easily marketed and communicated strokes.

Supposed to be and is.
