Limbaugh lets the rift in the GOP grow

CNN ran a delightful article on Sarah Palin's effort to aid the GOP "rebranding" effort. At which Rush Limbaugh was quick to point out:

Something else you have to understand is these people hate Palin too. They despise Sarah Palin, they fear Sarah Palin, they don't like her either. She's, according to them she's embarrassing.

Which just makes me about as giddy as anything.

My expert political scientist opinion foresees a growing rift in the Republican party - a rift between evangelical Christians and true conservatives. The party is divided and will continue to be, regardless of whatever they hope this "rebranding" will do. I think they saw some success with an appeal to populism regarding the hypocritical tax day protests, but for the most part, they're a bankrupted party.

No real leaders, no real power, no real ideas. There are those that want this nation to go against everything the Founding Fathers set forth and for us to become a "Christian nation" and there are those who, though they may be Christians, keep their politics separate and would rather we just get back to the good old fashioned Republican party - the party of racism, sexism, classism, cronyism, nepotism, and despotism.

Either way they decide to go, polls show that the vast majority of Americans think they're on the wrong track, and with all of the in-fighting amongst would-be GOP leaders, it's a bright, beautiful day in America.
