re: #155 Stauff
I don’t know, 2008? That’s seems a bit late, the Terry Shiavo controversy happened around 2005 and the party was clearly off the rails then. I’d put the GOP as off the rails right around 9/11/2001 but the evidence didn’t start showing up until later.
The GOP has been visibly off the rails since FDR, if you are properly brought-up.
