Samuel Rodriguez In the Cross-Hairs | National Catholic Reporter by MSW.  MGB: Gimmickry won't save the Republican Party from itself.  The views expressed by GOP leaders against immigration reform were not an attempt to make the old white males less tolerant - they were a reflection of the intolerance of the GOP rank and file (and some of its leaders - Jim Sensensenbrenner comes to mind).  The GOP in its current form won't change - it will either fade away or be the victim of an outside takeover by people whose agenda is empowering the working class.  Unless the GOP becomes a workers and libertarians party, it will simply go the way of the Whigs.
