Young Guns or not they are still beholden to the same failed reactionary dogma of their elders

Until such time as Republicans lead their party towards the sanity of its moderate midwestern and northeastern roots, the party both deserves, and needs, to die

Why should the Republicans revert to the same failed strategy of 'me too'-ism that they had during the mid-20th century? Particularly when so many in the party want it to be more conservative and polls show that Americans are more conservative on issues like bail outs or amnesty than their leaders? Becoming a more center left party in this climate, particularly when Obama's domestic policies are losing ground in poll after poll in large part to concerns over massive spending and government power, makes no sense. It's equivalent to all those people who said the Democrats in the mid-2000s should run on a pro-war 'moderate' platform if they wanted to beat Bush (although you'd favor that too no doubt).
