That sounds to me like very much of an outsider's perspective. You've set up this nebulous idea of the "GOP" which is the mirror image of the "liberal" straw man the Fox pundits refer to. As a registered Republican, I've got to say there are a lot of voters here in the GOP who have very diverse opinions on anything that's not Obama. I'd also say both sides have their hero-figures. People will find people they like, and raise them above others. Often undeservedly. Also I agree that Ayn Rand was not a looker. She wasn't a very good writer either.
