Yes it is really sad what the GOP has declined to. A couple of my neighbors the other day were talking about the frustration they are experiencing. They are diehard Republicans and one of them quipped.. "They have become the party of nothing". Pretty damming wouldn't you say?

Pretty funny to see a character assassin accuse others of that.

It's a wholesale character assassination that the GOP is shooting for. You don't think the Dems do this all the time? I generally try to avoid arguing based on perceptions of the other sides motivations and internal thoughts, but it really seems that once you "switched teams", you became strongly biased for the new team, and either overlook its faults, or just avoid commenting on them. You talk about "people of caliber they used to have in the days of Reagan..." Reagan (despite his generally affable nature in public) was viciously attacked by the Dems. Bush II and Cheney even more so, not just policy disagreements (I've certainly had my share of disagreements with him), but name calling, conspiracy theories etc.
