The Republican Party Died.....

In this last election the right drove away All major metropolitan areas; it drove away young people 2 to 1; it drove away hispanics 2 to 1; it drove away virtually 100% of blacks; it drove away affluent diverse suburbs in virtually every major city in America. It was hard for TV cameras to find a black face at the GOP Convention. Bigots waited in lines to see Palin at rallys and regularly talked racist trash to the cameras.

Soon you’ll be left with the southern core of the Confederacy and states where nobody lives - like Wyoming. Texas and Arizona will be in play in coming elections with the growth of the hispanic vote.

Then you will have a nice pure southern rural waiting for the rapture lilly white party! (but you will have your virginity - ahhem - principles). The hard right is currently a shrinking minority painted into a corner and talking only to themsleves..

Once upon a time Nelson Rockefeller, Jacob Javits and Everett Dirksen were Republicans. Now you call them RINOS. Enjoy your little corner of the world.
