The GOP's Crumbling Marriage of Convenience

From Alternet: 

...Theirs is a marriage of convenience—the Gordon Geckos don't care for the Bible Thumpers, the Bible Thumpers don't care for the Gordon Geckos. And now that their collective suck isn't leading to White House victories, the knives are out. 

Funny thing is, both those sides are equally to blame for the GOP's woes. Mitt Romney conservatism (aka "tax cuts for billionaires") is as unpopular as Rick Santorum conservatism (aka "hate the gays"). They need each other to amount to something, but that's no longer a nationally viable party.
