The article examines the U.S. Republican party. According to the article, the party's steady rise from the 1980 election of President Ronald Reagan to the 2004 re-election of George W. Bush appears to have ended. It is suggested that while the problems of the Bush administration, especially the Iraq War, have made Republicans unpopular, there is also a structural problem. The author asserts that it is difficult to manage a large government while opposed to the idea of large government.
