You'll need a lot of popcorn for this show

The are now discussions -- soon to be battles -- on how to reshape the Republican Party after such a debacle of an election. Let's line the factions up and take a look:

Big Business, interested in making as much money as possible no matter who it hurts. They favor the GOP for its willingness to be bribed.

Religious Fundies, who want to impose their theology on the rest of us. They favor the GOP for its claim to want to overturn abortion rulings.

Warmongers, who want to demonstrate America's strength. They like the GOP because the politicians usually speak the same language, even when it isn't useful.

Libertarians, who want less government. Unsure why they like the GOP.

Racists, who detest anyone not white and like the GOP because the GOP makes them think racism is acceptable and the GOP found their votes handy.

After McCain's defeat, especially since he and Palin represent different factions, each faction is blaming the others for the party's problems.

But all that leaves one problem. No matter which faction dominates (and it could be entertaining watching them battle it out) what do they have to show the rest of America? None of these factions sound like they act in the best interest of the nation.
