re: #34 Liberal Classic

I am so frustrated. Embracing anti-science candidates is going to doom the Republican Party to irrelevancy for a long time. I know there are some people around here who are strong Democrats and are happy to see their party win elections. This is fine, and I do not have a problem with these people. My concern is for the lack of an effective opposition party that operates nationwide. If the Republican Party completely embraces the social conservative agenda, in particular making anti-science positions main party planks, then it could very well lose nationwide appeal and be reduced to being a regional party. I do not see this as healthy for American democracy.

If I cared more for party than country, I wouldn’t be supporting the “Restore Sanity” effort. It would be better to see the GOP eventually succumb to rabies, and let the Dems stumble around unopposed. Instead, we have to try to pull the GOP back from the edge.
