Why is that? The Republicans were once a party I admired; they talked a good game about values and fiscal prudence. Now, the people who actually lived up to those values are gone.

Palin and Jindal and Steele and all the current Republican leaders are getting more and more shrill, absurd, and less and less in touch with reality. I can barely find a single Republican voice that represents small government values and protections regarding privacy. In fact, under the last administration, which the current leadership is more and more like, we saw government size exploding, spending exploding, and privacy disappearing.

The current Republican party is not a big tent. It's a series of tubes.
