Republican Collapse

[SoDesuKa]

It takes far less work to be a Democrat these days, and I think it's because of the Republican collapse. They're really wandering around in the desert lately - no ideas, and no convincing spokespersons either. Every time a Republican leader emerges, something out of their past knocks them down again.

Democrats may be seeing the results of years of patient effort, of living in the real world while Republicans have gotten comfortable living inside their fantasies. After years of faking it, Republicans don't have answers to real world problems. People are turning away from ideologues because they don't want to be just kidded along.

Imagine a two-column listing - on one side are the things Americans are worried about, and on the other side are proposed Republican "solutions." Issue after issue, Republicans simply don't have answers. Political dialogue in this country is increasingly becoming Democrat vs. Democrat, with Republicans on the sidelines. From time to time a figure like Dick Cheney will make a public statement, but he's becoming pathetic, even desparate. Other once-prominent Republicans have mostly disappeared.
