One of the best analysis I have read was written by radio talk show host Neal Boortz. In an Article titled “Republican Party ... Let Me Help You Out,” Neal blasted the GOP for their positions on abortion, gay marriage and immigration reform, Regarding abortion, Boortz commented:
“The Republican Party needs an exorcism. It needs to rid itself of these abortocentrist nutcases who are chasing away voters, particularly women. This is about as clearly as I can say it: Abortion is NEVER going to be illegal. Get over it! The sooner you come to terms with this, the sooner you will be able to regain credibility with the voters. Your boys Todd Aiken, Richard Mourdock and John Koster chased away millions of female voters with their idiotic remarks about abortion … and they cost us two seats in the Senate.”
On the issue of gay marriage, Boortz chastised the Republicans for wanting to get involved in a purely private matter that affects no one but the gay partners themselves:
“I’ve been on the air for years and never in my 42 years of talk radio has anyone been able to tell me how Joe and Steve living down the block in wedded bliss will have any impact on their life. Come into the 21st century with me on this one and just leave the issue the hell alone. If you’re so determined to defend the institution of marriage – the concept of committed couples living together in a dedicated relationship – then why don’t you turn your attention to Hollywood. Forget about demonizing a gay couple that is every bit as much in love and committed as you are to your spouse. Aim your derision on the Hollywood crowd that looks at marriage as not much more than a new car – something to be traded in on a new model in two years.”
Boortz saved his last salvo for the Republicans' hard stance against immigration, including plans to send all illegals back to Mexico:
“And when it comes to immigration, rounding up all the Mexicans in this country and sending them back to Mexico is never, ever going to happen. Do you hear that? It ISN’T going to happen! Does it occur to you that these people come here because they WANT to work? Do you really have such a huge problem with aspirational people? So come up with a reasonable policy on immigration reform, and lock down the borders. No problem with that. But give up this asinine idea that those already here – those who have been here for years – are going to be loaded into railroad cars and sent back to Mexico.”

PS: For those who do not know Boortz, he is a libertarian who promoted Romney. Boortz is one of Obama's most vocal and most severe critics; however, he's not in love with the GOP either.
