Where is the GOP headed?  Toward limited government reform, or toward more Bush-ian big-government boondoggles?

In his column from our April issue, Dave Weigel looks at four party personalities who could prove to be bellwethers.

Um, my crystal ball tells me more Bush-ian-big-government boondoggles, without a doubt.

Aren't my powers to see the future amazing?

I am guessing that Fred might not be as boondoggly as George.

Better nominate Al Gore to prevent us from finding out :)

I think that it is going to take another loss for the GOP to figure what the hell went wrong. I think that the majority of Republicans politicians think the only reason they lost Congress is the Iraq war. I'll say the Iraq war did play a major role in the 2006 election, but it was not the only reason that they lost the majority.

I'm a single issue voter:

government spending

we have got to stop squandering our nation's wealth like drunken sailors on shore leave

traditionally, I figured that the republicans were the party to support to further an anti-spending platform

this isn't our fathers' Republican party

they act (and spend) like liberal Democrats with fangs

I think the biggest and most obvious impact of a post-Bush world is a lot less agressive foriegn policy.

By the US, maybe. What about by the likes of, I dunno, Venezuela, or North Korea, or Iran?
