DAVID FRUM: We Republicans Have Completely Lost Touch With Reality
My thoughts on this?
He seems to be very correct, the republican party is a mere shade of its former self, and has moved from right of center to extreme right.
What caused this?
If we've moved to the far right then why do we keep getting people like McCain and Romney as our candidates?
Our party is a reflection of the voters that put them in office.

Political deal making. The fact that the wealth is concentrated in very few hands and they can do whatever they want now with little regard to the publics wishes.
Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.
We were pulled very hard to the left after Obama was elected so an equal push back from the right is nothing to be surprised by.

And the result of thinking and acting that was was the 2010 midterms. The peoples voice WAS heard.

Obama is actually considered center more than he is considered left.
No extreme left president would extend tax cuts?

I’ve been a Republican all my adult life. I have worked on the editorial page of The Wall Street Journal, at Forbes magazine, at the Manhattan and American Enterprise Institutes, as a speechwriter in the George W. Bush administration. I believe in free markets, low taxes, reasonable regulation, and limited government. I voted for John *McCain in 2008, and I have strongly criticized the major policy decisions of the Obama administration. But as I contemplate my party and my movement in 2011, I see things I simply cannot support.

The problem is they have failed to accomplish anything tangible.

are you so sure? look at what Ohio just did with the collective bargaining.

Not to be rude but I don't give a shit about politics in Ohio. I'm not bound by their laws.
