Today's Republicans aren't the Eisenhower-era Republicans (or even the Reaganites). They're almost too reactionary to be able to govern effectively. They also despise governing (vs. "ruling") - their mission booklet was "Fighting Washington for All Americans".
When I was growing up I thought of Republicans as considered politicians with well-founded policies. I remember Rockefeller as Governor of New York and his huge construction projects. A lasting legacy. Nowadays Republicans seem like wacko-jobs with no vision, no program, no policy...just weirdo negative positions on various anti-issues.
