The republicans have proven, definitively, that they cannot govern.

Even the hardest core libertarians aren't against roads, police, jails and national defense. The republicans have never been that anti-government. But their problem now is that at least on government size and economic issues they're not that much different than the socialist leaning dems. That's why they seem to have no message right now other than social issues and war, which are not resonating.
