With Republican majorities in the House and Senate, and a Republican in the White House, the GOP should have picked up where Ronald Reagan left off -- leading the nation as constitutional constructionists. Unfortunately, a cadre of constitutional obstructionists has split the Republican Party, diminished party loyalty and taken public support for the President and Congress to historic lows.

With few exceptions, elected Republicans are cowards. Start from there to figure out what's wrong with the GOP.

That IS the start of it ... I think many egos are so hugh they believe they were elected because THEY were so wonderful, not because the voting public anticipated they would lead as Republicans.

There is nothing wrong with the Republican that my election to the POTUS couldn't fix.

This is not surprising - kind of like putting all the men in the US into the army, and then discovering half the army is below average in intelligence.
Naturally, if the GOP starts to be such a large majority it includes nearly everyone who is not a left-wing kook, this is going to start happening.

The republican party and all it's elected officials has the entire MSM against it, continually cheap shotting it and back stabbing it. This is a huge problem, and it is important to realize it.

They are not doing what we elected them to do. The more power the republican party gets the less conservatism has. It is quite a mess we have.

What's wrong with the Republican PartyIt would rather advance the liberal agenda of the Democratic Party ---- more government, more bureaucracy, more welfare state and amnesty for freeloaders.
Sure don't sound like Ronald Reagan's conservative GOP and for good reason.

The leader of the party is a Rockefellar Republican. He isn't a conservative. That's what's wrong.

There's not nearly as much wrong as whiners are saying, but there are problems. RINO's are a huge problem...but since we're in a war, I don't want to hear crap about the budget...wars cost money, you can't fight them on the cheap. I'm not saying that there isn't rediculous spending elsewhere...there certainly is (look at Alaska's bridge to nowhere)...but some of this is petty whining because things aren't going just right for some activists.
