Funny, but the GOP fails when the squishes run and succeeds when conservatives prevail. Bush may have won the presidency twice, but he left the GOP brand a smoking ruin when he left, and it was only resurrected by the Tea Party 'radicals' that Greenburg decries.

Sure, you can always find some over-the-top rhetoric if you look hard enough - and the RINOs are guilty of that as well in their attacks on the Tea Party. The larger points are, who has the clear vision for the country and who wins elections? It ain't the squishes.

As far as I'm concerned, the real "radicals" in the GOP are those like McCain and Miss Graham. Their calls for sending US troops to fight alongside Islamist guerillas in Syria and demands for a de facto open borders immigration policy are quite radical, but they don't seem to be called on it.
