What is the GOP's ultimate goal?
Take over the world? Destroy the world? Kill all gays and liberals? Cause the second coming of Christ? Or just get rich no matter the cost to everyone else?

Or all of the above?

4. I think the last one you listed...

...they play to the religiosity and bigotry of knuckle dragging freeper-types, but in the end the ELITE among them really only care about getting even richer. What passes for the very loftiest part of them really is about nothing else other than the love of money--nothing "higher" or more "soulful" than that.

8. The GOP or the
* cabal? I for one am not so sure they're the same any more, not that i am a fan of or defending either. My fear is and has been that * is truly seeking dictatorship or may have achieved it, the GOP was the vehicle for putting himself in the position to do that, but we won't know for sure until '08.

11. They have a few
They got the rligious types who want to create a theocracy, eliminate Abortion/Homosexuality and wipe out the Democrats/Liberals.

They got the Neo-Cons who want to clean up the whole world, make it safe for capitalism and wipe out the Democrats/Liberals.

They have libertarians who want to see the government pared down to the military and wipe out the Democrats/Liberals.

They have old school conservatives who want a sensible fiscal policy, traditional values, and to wipe out the Democrats/liberals.

It's a good thing these varient groups have at least one thing they can agree one.

13. Steal as much as they possibly can
until the country/world is completely in ruins. Then get raptured up into heaven for being "good Christians".

I don't know. They're completely beyond my ability to comprehend.
