In the past 5 years, the GOP has gone to the mat for big business every time it could.
Be it tax cuts, trying to expand free trade agreements, encouraging outsourcing, lowering environmental standards, lucrative war profiteering contracts, trying to turn social security over to Wall Street, and of course, the most recent example...
Letting Credit Card industry lawyers rewrite our bankruptcy laws.
Meanwhile, what exactly has the GOP done for the religious right, those who imagine themselves the Masters of the Party?
Abortion is still legal, the gay marriage amendment is dead as a doornail, Bush won't ban stem cell research outright, and no serious effort has been made to establish Christianity as our national religion.
And none of these things will happen either. It's more valuable to the GOP to keep these wedge issues around to whip the rubes into a frenzy than it is to do anything about them.
Maybe one day, the RR will wake up and realize that they've been taken for a ride.
