re: #54 HappyWarrior

I seriously wonder what it will take for the GOP to realize they’ve gone off the deep end. Maybe they need a 1984 style landslide but the problem to me is even though they’re a minority, they’re not a small enough minority to be completely repudiated at the polls so the GOP politicians will keep on pandering to them. Hell after Santorum got second place in this year’s primaries, I wouldn’t be shocked if he’s the nominee in 2016 and gets at least 45% of the vote. He’d lose in the general election I’m reasonably certain but he’d do well enough to convince the wingnuts that their ideology isn’t a problem.It’s frustrating because modern conservatism is frankly not conservative at all but reactionary.

Santorum was actually polling at 42 percent against Obama with Obama well ahead. However, that tells me one thing. 42 percent of Americans agree with Santorum and that’s a frightening thought.
