I would have to say that in regards to the GOP being “out of touch” -— yes, with CONSERVATISM and their CONSERVATIVE base that wants America to stay the way it was defined by its founding documents and its framers. Also, they have forgotten that they win elections, when they run on a conservative, pro-American platform.
In those regards, today’s GOP does not look good at all — and that makes the socialists very happy.
The Republican party needs to be replaced on the national scene by the Conservative party.

Claims that Republican presidential nominee John McCain was not playing on white voters’ fears of black men seducing white women in his “celeb” advertisement are hard to swallow coming from a party that has exploited racial tensions for decades, says a New York Times’ columnist.
Bob Herbert, the most prominent African American voice on the paper’s op-ed page, authored a Saturday column outlining his objections to the GOP’s race-based attacks against Democratic nominee Barack Obama. He expanded on his thesis Monday morning in an interview with MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough.
