The Dilemma of the Republican Party

It is rather interesting that in virtually all the polls, a generic Republican presidential candidate beats President Obama but when they put a real name on the candidate, President Obama wins. What this means is that the Republican Party is yet to field a candidate that can win in the November 2012 Presidential Election. President Obama's efforts to give a boost to the ailing economy have been met with stiff resistance from the GOP dominated House of Representatives. They claim to have a better jobs plan but a critical look at their plan reveals that it only consists of bills targeted at cutting financial regulations, repealing the Healthcare Law (Obama-Care), and tax cuts for millionaires and corporations. Given these ridiculous, pro-rich positions that the GOP members have taken with regard to creating jobs and boosting the economy, the American people still have doubts about their sincerity when it comes to helping the Middle Class and the poor. The American people still believe that making Obama a one-term president is more paramount to the GOP than lifting the economy out of the quagmire of recession. Their jobs plan when juxtaposed with President Obama's is a caricature. The dilemma of the Republican Party at the moment is that none of its presidential candidates currently in the race is capable of defeating President Obama in a general election but the unnamed, generic candidate who is likely to defeat the incumbent president is imaginary and faceless and at this juncture in the race, that generic candidate is unlikely to emerge.
