WASHINGTON — In thinking about the Republican Party's troubles, consider this: One-third of Republicans now say they have an unfavorable opinion of their party.
There's no such dyspepsia among Democrats. Just 4% have an unfavorable view of their party.

The findings of a USA TODAY/Gallup Poll underscore the perilous state of the GOP. Over the past three years, Republicans have lost control of the White House, the House of Representatives and the Senate, and they're now struggling to forge a unified response to the popular new Democratic president.

4. Someone said on a recent MSNBC show.....

.... that there are now more Republicans who consider themselves to be moderate than there are those who consider themselves to be conservative.

Hopefully Sarah and the gang didn't see that show and will keep pandering to the base that they THINK they have.

6. Republican party isn't fiscally responsible

and the War in Iraq. The fiscally responsible is the biggest complaint I hear from the Republicans I know.

I can't say I disagree with them, I'm a blue dog Democrat and liked it when Bill Clinton had actually balanced the budget.
