The Right's schtick is all volume and no values. Hypocrisy is a mangy 3-legged flea-bitten rabid hound dog come to eat Farmer Brown's chickens. History is about to foreclose on that farm.
I'm not seeing how the Republicans have a sustaining vision that is persuasive to a majority of voters when they continue to allow people like Limbaugh, Hannity, and Beck to be their voice. They appear to deliberately have chosen propaganda instead of any kind of political or social plan. The propaganda is all spite and spat and bile and bullshit. They condone and advance character assassination with no plausible alternative.
Michael Steele's public pronouncements have been useless to them in the times when he is not busy apologizing to Rush Limbaugh. When he's not useless as their Chair, he's damaging to their chances.
And just ahead, they are likely to experience a blood bath for their 2012 presidential nomination. Palin, if she runs as a Republican, is threatening to them because she is ignorance manifest, a joke, a cartoon, a quitter, a secessionist moron, a slaughterer of wolves. If she runs as an independent she is also damaging to the GOP, as she would siphon the idiots and nutbags and secessionists in any general election. At best, a Palin indie launch would pull 5-6% and relegate Romney to no better than 37-40% in a competitive general election, IMO. It would ensure re-election of the secret Muslin socialist Marxist Obama.
Hate-hosts, character assassins, teabagging hypocrites, and squawking townhall rowdies in diminished political acreage.
