8. The Ego War Has Just Begun...
The right wingnuts are hanging by a shread...frustrated and further and further from the levers of power. Right now its easy to blame the "drive-by media" or "RINOs" or all-things "librul" or "Democrat", but that shelf life is starting to wear thin.

Yep, not only is the party leaderless, it's clueless. It's still in full denial mode as the various factions continue to pretend that they're still relevant and push the party further to the extremes. The fun is watching the various factions that are trying to make their moves...and how the egos will start getting the best of them.

As the party rips further apart the sides are being drawn...the fundies never really trusted the Wall Streeters (even moreso now) who looked down on the libertarians who feel superior to the gun nuts and all have their tin foil hats cranking overtime. On hate radio, there's a "can you top this" game of sounding shriller and more over-the-top to get attention as this void widens.

Sure, Rushbo probably believes he speaks for the party now, but wanna bet BillO does as well as does Beck as does Hannity and so on...and each will think they have the better way and that's where the fun really begins. While hatred is their stock in trade, their egos still rise to the top and as the group schism, each will claim to be the "voice" of the party or the "conservative movement".

There is no leadership, just a big, widening void.

Cheers...
