…it’s just pining for the fjords.

No, no, no. Doesn’t the author understand that the only problem with the Republican Party is that they aren’t far right enough? If the GOP Minister of Propaganda reads this, he’s going to go on another slutathon against the Feminazi who wrote this.

People have been saying this for years. 10 years from now there is going to be some poor soul saying it as well, “The Republicans still have a chance, unless they keep romancing the crazies”!11!!1
All there is left, is crazy.

The GOP isn’t going to change its ways unless it starts getting defeated by crushing margins at the national level.

That isn’t happening any time soon, as far as I can tell. E.g., it would take a near-miracle for the GOP to lose the House in 2014, even with the disgraceful performance they have put on.

As someone who considered himself a Republican for close to 20 years, allow me to say there is not one fucking rat fuck’s chance in hell of me ever voting for a Republican in my life time

The business wing of the party (90% of the money, 10% of voters, mostly interested in regulations, taxes and unions) wants to shut down all this culture war crap that’s turning off the moderate voters who swing elections.

The religious wing (10% of the money, 90% of the voters, mostly interested in gays and abortion) just isn’t having it.

If the business wing sits out a cycle or two, and the religious wing gets a clue filling the seats doesn’t fill the tank… then maybe the business wing can reassert their authority and put forth the sorts of candidates who can win outside the bible belt.

re: #5 Kragar

A moderate Repubican is a Democrat. A “true Republican is a brain damaged spiteful tool for cutting taxes forthright for the rich and corporations while looting the middle class demonizing science lying almost nonstop and being a sad sorry excuse for a Hunan being. Your party is a cult and your members are stupid beyond belief . Want to ” save” the GOP? VOTE THEM OUT AT LOCAL STATE AND NATIONAL INFLUENCE AND LEVEL. Destroy this abomination that welcomes hate and prejudice and is closer to the Taiban and Soviet ideals than Democracy and Freedom. TOADS AND SLUGS SNAILS AND TRAILS OF THE INBRED MONACRACY. Vote them GONE.

The GOP dies off a little bit more every day and political power is all about momentum. Moderates are not going to stick around to get spit at by the true believers in some grand battle to reclaim the party. They’re just going to walk away and become the GOP’s worst enemies.

The salvation of the GOP will not come from within, (nor from those farther to the right,) but from the Democrats.
In a two party system the longer a party stays in power and the more it takes that position for granted the more likely it is is to fuck up monumentally

In other words, if the Democrats find a way to screw up, the GOP will get back into power, no matter how crazy it is.

I agree with this point, and this is the main reason I’m concerned about the GOP bad crazy. Their extremism and insanity is hardly a show-stopper for them at this time.
