Nobody really likes obama. Yet he will probably win.
Why? Because the republican policy making machine is broken.
You guys have to dump the religious nutjobs, and go back to fiscalism.
But you can't - because you gutted and betrayed your own fiscal policies, starting with reagan, wh began the "lower tax collections but cover the difference with deficit borrowing" policies that have defined republican (both neocon and neolib) fiscalism for decades.
Lowering tax collections without cutting spending to match, and borrowing to make up the difference, is actually RAISING TAXES, because the borrowed money has to be paid back with interest by future taxes. This is the fundamental betrayal that is eating the republican party from within like a cancer.
Because you betrayed your own beliefs, you need the religious nutjobs to have any base at all.
You did this to yourselves.
The democrats have a similar problem, they also have betrayed their philosophy, but in this election, their disconnect is being seen by the voters as less damaging than the republican disconnect.
