First Read: "So who runs the Republican Party? Apparently nobody. Perhaps the most startling political development was the amazing lack of leadership on the GOP side of the aisle. Let's run down the list of Republican leaders who attempted to persuade skeptical House Republicans: President Bush, John McCain, Dick Cheney, and John Boehner... Bush's leadership and trust issues within his party has been evidenced for quite some time, and the icing on the Bush legacy cake is that fact that he could only convince FOUR Texas House Republicans to support his bill.
I'm very concerned about the Republican Party. I'd hate to see them go the way of the Whigs or the Know-Nothings, and if they are going to be dominated by ideologues like Cantor they just might.

OMG, the sky is falling, the sky is falling! The total meltdown of the market is in full swing...we're all doomed...except it's up by triple digits right now.
Imagine that.....
When was the last time the GOP had an actual leader, anyway?
What's amazing is that the modern GOP have been hijacked by the crazies (theocrats/neocons) yet the old time Rockefeller repubs have not formed their own opposing coalition or party. That's what is needed if we are to have any sort of rational debate.
Anon, I agree. Bush served as nothing more than a vehicle through which the GOP was hijacked by the crazies. Of course, they're in disarray now. I hope they stay that way for a while too.
Is Newt Gingrich the puppet-master, perhaps?
