“RINO” A Recipe for GOP Defeat

By Curt Smith

"The British statesman Benjamin Disraeli said famously, “The Tory Party is the stupid party.” Segue to its lineal descendant. Today’s Republican elite is hapless, not to mention clueless, even hopeless. Less is not more for the GOP.

In a recent Gallup poll, just 20 percent of America calls itself Republican, a brand somewhere between the Edsel and Bernard Madoff. By contrast, a whopping 40 percent are conservative, twice liberalism’s market share. How has the Party of Ronald Reagan lost a right-of-center country? Lack of mind, meet lack of spine."
