you could make that argument and I for one agree with the 'everything wrong' POV. But if you look at the extremism being spouted about by the republican party, their flat out stating that their priority is making Obama a one term President instead of doing whats right for the country.... if you keep in mind all the things they have gotten away with using his tactics and a unified voice you'll see that the mainstream hears what they say, believe it and someone from the right will have a legitimate shot at the highest office in the land.
The republican candidate will hit the general election campaign trail looking and talking like a moderate while an army of conservative activist do all the dirty work keeping the dems on the defensive. It is their strategy and it has been working. I hope you are right, that Americans see them for what they are (IMO greedy self centered ball suckers) and take away what power they have. but recent history has shown differently.
If anyone has a problem with how I describe republican politicians let me just say I do not hold the democrats in any higher regard but they are so weak it is hardly worth pointing it out
