What happened to those great minds? I loved Buckley and he is sorely missed.

The Republicans are in dire need of a lot of William F. Buckleys. They have too many peacemakers, apologists, and spineless wonders. the truth is that the Republican Party has never recovered from the untimely death of Lee Atwater in 1991. Atwater was a supercharged, take no prisoners version of James Carville long before anyone ever heard of Carville. He was nasty but he was brilliant- and he produced winners. the present leadership of the RNC is, to be blunt, a bit too limp-wristed.
