Bobo (David Brooks) is calling for the GOP to split- I couldn't agree more!
A Second G.O.P.

On the surface, Republicans are already doing a good job of beginning to change their party. Gov. Bobby Jindal of Louisiana gave a speech to the Republican National Committee calling on Republicans to stop being the stupid party, to stop insulting the intelligence of the American people.
Representative Paul Ryan gave a fine speech to the National Review Institute calling for prudence instead of spasmodic protest. The new senator for Texas, Ted Cruz, gave a speech to the same gathering saying the Republicans should be focusing on the least fortunate 47 percent of Americans.
But, so far, there have been more calls for change than actual evidence of change. In his speech, for example, Jindal spanked his party for its stale clichés but then repeated the same Republican themes that have earned his party its 33 percent approval ratings: Government bad. Entrepreneurs good.
In this reinvention process, Republicans seem to have spent no time talking to people who didn’t already vote for them.

Why stop there, David? Split into 3, 4 or 5 pieces!

"The core American conflict, in this view, is between Big Government and Personal Freedom."
Let's not forget the core mental conflict that enables Republicans to cherish "personal freedom" even while they insist on the right to probe their noses up every woman's vagina in order to keep an eye on her lady parts.
Really, they are a mass of internal, irrational contradictions. But by all means, they should start by splitting into two "factions." Enough energy applied at the right point in space-time, and that first split could initiate a chain reaction of explosions into many tiny pieces.
