Andrew Sullivan takes apart the Republican party in just one paragraph and builds it up in the next:
Here’s the choice paragraph ( for a liberal :-p)
Their abandonment of limited government, their absurd spending under Bush, their contempt for civil liberties, their rigid mindset, their hostility to others, their worship of the executive branch, their contempt for judicial checks, their cluelessness with racial minorities and immigrants, their endorsement of torture as an American value, their homophobia, their know-nothing Christianism, and the sheer vileness of their leaders – from the dumb-as-a-post Steele to the brittle, money-grubbing cynic, Coulter and hollow, partisan neo-fascist Hannity.

As Andrew Sullivan says
“If today’s “conservatives” spent one tenth of the time saying what they were for rather than who they’re against, they might get somewhere.”
If they would say they are for
Limited Government
Support of hard working families
A reintroduction of personal responsibility
reduced social engineering
then they might start being taken seriously again
