The Republican Problem

From a comment posted by Kyle Bennett:

The Republicans elites are to the Tea Parties and health-care protest movement what a dog is to a car he is chasing. He has no idea where it's going, and if he caught it, he'd have no idea what to do with it. And the people in the car would just laugh - if they didn't run it over because they didn't even notice it was there.But yes, the dog is trying very hard.

The Republican party elites/insiders thought it was a good idea to nominate John McCain last year just as they rooted for the similarly incoherent Bob Dole twelve years earlier.  Twenty-nine years ago, they were sure that Reagan was an extremist who would lose.  The party has been like a lost dog for as long as I can remember.
