Who's killing the GOP?

To what extent are the GOP and the NeoCon movement being crippled, as shown in the recent election, by their most outspoken spokespeople, such as Bill O'Riley, Ann Coulter, Lush Rambo, Mathews, and others of their ilk? (Pleased excuse me if I misspelt any of their names. I personally don't think any one of them is worth the effort to look up the correct spelling.) Did a lot of people just get sick and tired of the overbearing, overwrought, and over hyped nonsense that these people continually dish out? I've been around long enough to know that the political pendulum lazily swings back and forth, but behind that there are usually easily discernable forcing functions that effect the timing and strength of each swing. Are the above mentioned the swingers that brought on the liberal democrat victories? Will we now see the (re)emergence of a moderate, centrist (a la Eisenhower) GOP?I personally would put this in the Faith and Belief forum, but coffeehouse is probably a better choice. I'm going to be down in Baja for a couple of weeks, so I won't be able to resond to the admins for a while if you aren't ready to promote this yet. Yeh, I know: I should have waited until I got back to post a PNT, but I didn't want the porridge to get too cold.
