You guys need to go more Tea Party in the next election. That was your mistake this time around... Double down on the Ryan budget, catering to corporations, wall street, the military industrial complex, and the 1% at the top
I heard this same crap in 2008 that the GOP was dead. Then 2010 rolled around. Lets see what 2014 looks like before you start throwing dirt on the corpse. Who knows? Maybe the TEA party will die and the RINO's will win.
Thomas Sowell: There are no solutions, just trade-offs.
The party is dwindling under its own hateful weight... As I predicted, they're losing the youth vote; they've already lost the vote for women, blacks, Hispanics, elderly, poor, LGBT... All that's left is the old, angry, "values-voters" white guys that seem to have the same fixation on gays and abortion and "lower taxes" that they've had for 30 years... Jus' keep doin' what yer doin'..... And enjoy your ever-increasing irrelevance...
But don't worry...There's always FauxNews, WorldNutDaily, Breitbart, Hannity/O'Reilly/Limburger...and the Rasmussen polls to tell you that "everything is okay, and "as it should be" inside the Rightie bubble....
Said the guy who, for the last two years, has been saying that to understand Obama you had to understand "his Kenyan neo-colonial world-view"... Yeah, Newt...

Obama won by less than 3% of the popular vote. Not a mandate.
Thomas Sowell: There are no solutions, just trade-offs.
John Kerry (48.27%) got a bigger percentage of the popular vote than either Mitt Romney (47.85) or John McCain (45.6)
Kerry's 251 electoral votes was greater than McCain's 173 and Romney's 206.
Barack Obama's electoral wins (332 and 365) dwarfs Bush's (286 and 271). Clinton got 379 and 370. You have to go back to 1988 for George HW Bush's 426 to find a Republican win over 300.
Obama's 61,939,115 is more than Bush in 2000 (50,460,110) and Bush in 2004 (62,088,847)

Oh, NO!... I WANT the GOTP to keep talking about abortion, rape, killing Planned Parenthood, science-denial, creationism, climate-change denail, and how they lost because the 52.5 percent just "want free stuff" and they're "moochers"....
As moderates see it, the “conservative entertainment complex” of talk radio, Fox News, and right-wing blogs has an outsized and potentially fatal influence over the party, alienating Latinos with crass solutions to illegal immigration (“self-deportation”) and insulting women with disrespectful remarks about abortion and birth control.
“If you look at the Republican Party over the last couple of years, it is a tail-wag-the-dog story with the power and the influence of the conservative entertainment complex over elected leadership,” Schmidt, the senior campaign strategist on Sen. John McCain’s 2008 presidential campaign, told POLITICO. “Ronald Reagan would have been appalled by this uncivil tone. Conservatism with a smile has appeal. Conservatism with a snarl is a voter repellent.”
Far from accepting this premise, the far right is retrenching.
