What I find comical is that with every election cycle, their extremism becomes even more apparent. What I find disheartening... - Mop (196 lbs) Aug 1, 11:07
Yup. (nm) - musubi Aug 1, 11:00
No way. The bigwigs in the GOP know its killing them, it gives them more ammo for change. -- nm - MDH Aug 1, 10:54 16
- The bigwigs in the GOP are watching the Tea Party take out people left and right. They aint' going to get that kickstart - Will Hunting Aug 1, 10:56
- The GOP "Bigwigs" have no control over the base. -- nm - amoxy Aug 1, 10:56 1
  - Yeah, Fox News has more control over the base than they do. -- nm - mara Aug 1, 10:57
- They have to disavow their extremist positions, and that means disavowing their base. They'd rather just pander to it. -- nm - Mop (196 lbs) Aug 1, 10:55 12
  - So they are willing to lose 4 presidential elections in a row, yet stick to their "values?" Um not happening. -- nm - MDH Aug 1, 10:56 11
    - I speculated this after Obama's election. I thought the GOP would fracture. - Mop (196 lbs) Aug 1, 10:59
    - They've lost 1 in a row, and are in a close fight for #2. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 1, 10:57 4
      - And they have all the money to keep it close, no matter their backwater views on social issues. (nm) - musubi Aug 1, 11:02 3
        
        But they keep winning down stream. That backwater view won a sizable majority of the 2010 votes...and probably will do well in 2012 in that same rega - Will Hunting Aug 1, 11:04 2
        
        Yup. Mittens is the worst, a puppet that they can be vililfied if he loses, and made to dance if he wins. (nm) - musubi Aug 1, 11:06
        
        I can't see the GOP losing the House, but I am hoping the Dems hold onto the Senate -- nm - amoxy Aug 1, 11:05
    - 4? They have only lost 1 -- nm - amoxy Aug 1, 10:57 4
      - We said assuming Romney loses (2), social issues are advancing rapidly, no way they win those votes another 4 years down the line. -- nm - MDH Aug 1, 10:59 3
        
        I think you're being far too optimistic, and not recognizing the ridiculous ammonts of money and influence pedding the GOP - musubi Aug 1, 11:04
        
        So you are assuming that Obama wins this year, then Hillary wins in 2016 and 2020 - amoxy Aug 1, 11:03 1
        
        Agreed. But social issues are playing an important part of it. Notice FL's polls even. -- nm - MDH Aug 1, 11:05
Yup -- nm - amoxy Aug 1, 10:52 3
- They need an epic pummeling for the GOP to realize that extremism is the wrong path. Unfortunately, that may only happen... - Mop (196 lbs) Aug 1, 10:54 2
  - Even an epic pummelling won't happen, because Mittens is a puppet. If Santorum or Bachman was the nominee and got pummelled - musubi Aug 1, 11:08 1
    - My thesis is that for the GOP to wake up, someone like Santorum or Bachman has to win first. - Mop (196 lbs) Aug 1, 11:10
this. -- nm - loosilu Aug 1, 10:51
