The Powell Endorsement and the End of the Republican Foreign Policy Establishment

by Ilan Goldenberg

……But years from now when we look back at this moment there may be an even bigger story. It is the story of the end of the Republican foreign policy establishment as we know it. The final break between traditional pragmatic foreign policy conservatives and Neocons. And it will likely be said that it was Colin Powell who struck the final blow that killed the alliance…..

The personalities, the points of view, which have been attracted to the Republicans in recent years are not going to disappear. If the GOP were to go the way of the Whigs, something else would appear and fulfill the same needs.

Personally, I think the US would be better off with 4-5 major parties. Let Libertarians, Greens, Robber Barons, Xtn theocrats, etc., have their own bodies. It won’t be heaven on earth, but many factions are safer than only a few, as Publius said.

Richard, This is very well put and it’s what I’ve been saying too. I also don’t see the Republicans reforming themselves from within. If the Democrats don’t screw up during the next 4 years, they will be in power for a long time. Perhaps a new moderate party will one day take the place of the Republican Party, as the Repugs will become more or less just a minor political party.

The republican party deserves a very slow and painful demise. It would be greatly appreciated by most of us. We will of course accept a quick decapitation. Rush Limpdick will always be around for a few laughs from time to time. May the republican party rest in peace and pray that it does not raise its wicked head as republican zombies!!!
