Gandalf: I completely agree with you on the GOP. They’ve gone well beyond the politics of opposition and are now being simply obstructionist for the purpose of being obstructionist.
When a oafish buffoon like Rush Limbaugh becomes the de facto leader of the GOP, you know something is seriously wrong. Unless and until the GOP decides to find it’s way back to true conservative values and jettison the right wing whackos like Limbaugh, and Palin and the evangelicals, well, they’ll remain a party on the sidelines and justifiably so.
