I'm confused about the American Republican party

[NuurAbSaal]

There are two recent articles that should be read if you want a good understanding of American politics in 2012 specifically the mentality and politics of the conservative right:

Divided We Stand by John Aloysius Farrell in the National Journal.

And

2012 Or Never by Jonathan Chait in the New York Magazine.

Thanks a bunch, I found both articles highly interesting.

take care
