Republicans Look Backward to Gingrich, Secession, and Socialism
And therein lies the danger Republicans face right now. Where this temporal scramble leaves them is anyone's guess, but they must avoid the echo chamber where they are so busy revving up their base with wing-nut greatest hits that they cannot reach beyond it.
The party is not without voices urging a moderated path. Could it be that Republican gadfly Meghan McCain has been sent back from the future to save the party? Time will tell.

Socialism argument is getting tired
Do republicans in this country really know what socialism is? Or is it just another one of their scare tactics they use to control the US psyche? They call Al Gore an alarmist, yet they scream about socialism whenever Obama does anything to correct the mess republicans are largely responsible for in the first place. After sitting back and watching Bush squander the first projected surplus in the last half century, now suddenly they are concerned about spending. I suggest if any of you really think this is socialism, try living in a real socialist country. You'll see how absurdly ridiculous those charges are. Besides, it's only socialism when the policies don't support status quo with those in power start to lose their grip.
Era of Hate is over with
Thanks for clarifying the liberals point "losers" . it is precisely your outlook that shrank your party into oblivion. Ronnie Rayguns tried that "blame it all on the poor" nonsense all the while he was trading arms for hostages,poisoning us citizens and giving Saddam Chemical weapons. Your ideas are tired and old, much like your constituency. Get a grip
Misses the target
OK, well obviously the GOP wouldn't HAVE to go back to Cold War arguments if Obama hadn't decided to go back to the long disgraced socialist policies of the Soviets! Get your messiah to act like an American president and we'll easily abandon that "past"!
