He's saying that the GOP went from its grand vision of 1994 (e.g., passing welfare reform and limited government - in short, the Contract With America) to little more than frivolous sideshows (e.g., banning horsemeat and same-sex marriage).

Ok, I gotcha...

...But Banning Gay Marriages is a HUGE issue for Evangelical Christians like myself.

A lot of people on this thread are pissed because of it, but no one denies the truth of it.

Yep, that is like saying that the sun rises in the morning. I am having a hard time seeing what is so controversial. I agree that the timing of the article may be a little inconvenient, but have no argument with its substance. It seems to me that he is preparing for the post election jockeying to define the direction of the GOP. He must assume that he needs to get out in front of the debate if he is to have any hope of steering it in the direction of a principled commitment to limited government.
I am in completer agreement with his goals, but not so sure of his tactics.
