…I will say that I think a lot of the current problems arise from the coalition he forged for the GOP with the religious right and the theocon/so-con agenda. Those wingnuts are really angry right now, and the current GOP appears to believe that they need to pander to them.

IMO the religious right seized the upper hand in the coalition when the Contract Republicans lost the budget confrontation with Clinton.
