Sat bolt upright in bed at 3AM, grabbed bberry and emailed myself: "Who is the leader of the Republican party now?".

1. Seriously. Good question.

I can't think of anyone.

[DonViejo]

2. Boehner. nt

[nc4bo]

8. No, the entire teabagger house of reps.

and whomever was responsible for putting them in office, and I'm not referring to the voters.

Boner said Obamacare was law and perhaps could be tweaked then, that same evening, walked it completely back and said Obamacare should be repealed.

Someone(s) else are pulling the strings.

Who?

[FSogol]

3. Limbaugh is still their leader.

That's why they keep losing.

[denverbill]

4. Same as before: Limbaugh

[justiceischeap]

5. Definitely not Paul Ryan

they have no "rising stars" that I can see. Of course, they kicked all the moderates out of office and I can only see a moderate, like Colin Powell for example, being able to win the electorate at this point.

[Iggo]

22. Fuck Colin Powell and his taco trucks of mass destruction.

Half a million dead Iraqis.

Fuck Colin Powell.

EDIT: I guess my point is he sounds like a moderate and he may even think he's a moderate, but he's a murdering fucking warmonger and no one should ever forget it or let him forget it. Didn't mean to shit on this thread, and I apologize. I just hate that guy.

[justiceischeap]

26. I'm not suggesting Powell is the guy, I was just using him as an example of a moderate

that people on both sides would get behind. I have no love for the guy either.

[Iggo]

27. Yeah, I know.

Just a knee-jerk reaction on my part.

[valerief]

6. Still the Koch brothers and Walton family. nt

[krispos42]

7. Greed. n/t

[warrior1]

9. isn't romney? rove? alies? koch? sheldon? secret dark $$?

[sadbear]

10. Either Boehner or Limbaugh.

We won't know until they duke it out, or one exerts his power over the other.

This ought to be fun to watch.

[deutsey]

11. This guy was a hit at the GOP convention

?w=600

[peachcobbler]

12. Mud Wrestling

Wouldn't a fight between Boener and Limbaugh be like watching two pigs in the mud?

[okwmember]

13. I asked this yesterday

when people were all over the news saying the president should meet with Romney. Why? He lost the election and has no standing in the government. At this point, I'm perfectly willing to let the Repubs fight amongst themselves to see who shall rule the losers.

[JHB]

14. Cue Star Trek "arena fight" music

[Agnosticsherbet]

15. Technically, Rence Prebius, as Chairman of the Republican National Comittee...

but actually the question is up in the air.

[hvn_nbr_2]

16. A dead lunatic, seriously

Seriously. He may not be any official leader but, in reality, the intellectual and spiritual leader of the Republican party is the same dead lunatic that's been their leader for decades--Joe McCarthy.

[DonRedwood]

17. here is my post on the subject:

[Arugula Latte]

18. Reagan's Corpse

[OldDem2012]

19. Self-proclaimed, elected, or other? Lots of potential candidates, but I'd say...

...Rush Limbaugh and Mitch McConnell are at the top of the list.

[1-Old-Man]

20. A civil war has already begun in the Republican Party and Richard Vigueire fired the first shot

This should be great to watch. The implosion has begun.

[Old and In the Way]

21. Board of Directors - GOP, LLC.

"Divesting in America's future for 40 years...."

[hifiguy]

23. Noted sex tourist Hopalong Pillhead.

He still calls the tune the rest of the morans dance to.

[theKed]

24. I heard

its the preserved brain of Goebbels in a cyborg gorilla body.

[hifiguy]

25. For some reason that makes me think of this guy

"Everyone was in favor of saving Hitler's brain. But when you put it in the body of a great white shark. Ohh, suddenly you go too far!"
