Click here for an article by Lou Dubose, editor of the Washington Spectator, entitled "A Republican Party Held Captive By Its Radical Base." He characterizes CPAC (Conservative Political Action Conference) as a right-wing Brigadoon (title of a 1954 film about a miraculously blessed village that rises out of the mists every hundred years for only a day, so that the village would never be changed or destroyed by the outside world:
After four days of immersion, 8,000 to 10,000 participants depart, convinced that anthropogenic climate change is a hoax; government warnings about BPA plastic bottles are a plot designed to create hysteria to drive the public into the arms of the Nanny State; and that Rand Paul is a viable candidate for the presidency of the United States.
His conclusion?
The Republican Party is at war with itself.
It appears to be losing.
