They are presently viewed by the moderate majority to be mostly about defending the interests of the corporate capitalists, ie. the rich. In my experience over the past 30 years, more and more people are beginning to name runaway corporations as what ails us, both domestically and in our foreign policy. If our social stratification was not continuing to grow, maybe the republicans could advance the perfectly sound conservative principles which orbit the idea of the primacy of the individual, but given the stagnation of real wages and the shrinking of the middle class, no one wants to hear the rich being defended.
The opposition party should be about solutions. The problem is that the opposition party is all about whining about the problems. People know the problems, intimately... They want solutions, which neither party is doing a good job of offering or delivering on. I you take a purely cynical perspective, and simply follow the money who is pulling the strings...

sigh - - - some of the last few posts are a perfect example of what I spoke about earlier. Unfortunately, the Dem 'versus' Rep illusion goes on. Perhaps too many peoples personal identities are invested in "I am a Dem." or "I am a Rep." If they cling to their prejudices they will be played forever. - - The play-by-play of all the intricacies of the illusion have about as much relevance in peoples real lives as the box scores in some stupid spectator sport diversion. - - - What the politicians actually Do while diverting the emotions of their true believers has tremendous impact.
