These quote from a Time article by Joe Klein best sums up my current distaste:
"The philosophically supple party that existed as recently as George H.W. Bush's presidency has been obliterated. The party's putative intellectuals — people like the Weekly Standard's William Kristol — are prosaic tacticians who make precious few substantive arguments but oppose health-care reform mostly because passage would help Barack Obama's political prospects."
"... but there was a difference in those times: the crazies were a faction — often a powerful faction — of the Republican Party, but they didn't run it."
"Some righteous anger seems called for, but that's not Obama's style. He will have to come up with something, though — and he will have to do it without the tiniest scintilla of help from the Republican Party."
